THE SOUTHERN WAY Issue No 1 ISBN: 9780955411038
As before we have taken great care to include a mix of material - listened also to the comments of readers, and included some new topics for the first time. In the September 2007 issue, the lead article is on the history and time in service of the 'Brighton Belle', still the only multiple-unit electric Pullman train set in the world and which even 35 years on from the time of its last run in service is still sorely missed. Complimenting this is an associated piece on the re-signalling of part of the Brighton line and compiled from original Southern Railway source material. There is also a major photographic feature on Waterloo including several views from the Hulton-Getty collection - including Waterloo with semaphore signals but no trains due to strike action. The colour section this time is on the route from Billingshurst through Petworth in freight only days. Wonderfully evocative and including the unique station architecture on this almost forgotten route. In addition there is more from Hugh Abbinnett on his time on the footplate, rolling stock detail, and of course another superb series on civil engineering.
The early days are not forgotten either with our regular 'Flashback' feature. Finally a surprise - some very unusual photographs from the motive power department...Most if not all of the material has also never been seen before.
Dimensions: 21.5 x 0.7 x 27.3 cm
