BOOK LAYOUT
The book is in A4, single sided format to allow the user to write notes on the opposite page.

The Locomotives section is laid out with Company and Depot if the loco is active. If the loco is stored, then the locos last known location is typed in full, with the exception of shunters due to the variety of places, stored shunters have brackets round the location name.
Exported locomotives display the current depot
Coaching stock carries the Depot Code unless stored, where it shows the location.
Units carry their side numbers and Depot, unless stored, where they carry the name of the location.
Private & Preserved locos carry the name of the location.

Any stock that has been taken to a scrap merchant for cutting has been deleted. (with the exception of the 56s and the scrapmen are looking to re-sell)

The book is priced at a bargain £20 (there is a postage charge of £5 for first class posting)

Ian Allan stocks the books in all four stores, Cheshire Lines of Crewe have two left in stock and Law books have a copy in stock.

If you would like a copy which is up to date as of today, you can obtain a copy from myself.
