All of the books, published by RCL, are of exceptionally high quality. They are published on glossy art paper and photographs are reproduced either in full colour or, in the case of monochrome, archival material, using the duotone process. Consequently pictures are very high resolution and can easily be scrutinized with a magnifying glass – if small details are of interest. Page layouts are well planned. Different body-types and fonts are used for different purposes, main text, picture caption etc., so even quite complex layouts are easily followed. The authors are invariably experts in their field – in the case of this volume the authors have undertaken years and years of dedicated research and exploration. These are books, to which you will eagerly return, time and time again. They are of interest to detailed model makers and even the most exacting enthusiasts alike.
Having completed the chapters about the history and technology of the slate industry, the authors have one more ‘treat’ for their readers. We are invited on a virtual exploration of the present day remains with them and their family, in text and personal photographs. the result is quite charming.

His photographs capture the essence of these distinctive narrow gauge railways that delved deep into the mountains of Snowdonia. Wagons with double-flanged wheels, mixed-gauge stub points, precipitous inclines as well as steam and diesel locomotives are included. Most of the 123 photographs, a third in colour, have not been published before.The book is Brand New 10/10 ~~~

THE PADARN & PENRHYN RAILWAYS By-TURNER SUSANHardback Published by DAVID & CHARLES (1975)192ppBest book published on North Wales Slate Quarries the biggest in the world at the timeFirst Edition
David & Charles, Newton Abbot, 1975. Hardback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Mint. First Edition.
Fascinating history of two Welsh narrow gauge railways — the Padarn and the Penrhyn — which served the slate quarries of Caenarvonshire down to the Menai Straits. Privately owner, the railways opened as horse trams in the early 1800s and were transformed to steam operation and survived until the early 1960s. This book provides a detailed description of the construction, operation and demise of the railways (and the associated quarries) including extensive chapters on the locomotives and rolling stock (including the famed hand-cranked velicopede). Also covers the development of tourism around the lines. Illustrated with black and white photos. With rosters, maps, and bibliography. Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs taken from private collections, many published here for the first time. Essential reading for local historians, modellers and transport enthusiasts alike. Ref ~~~Steam on the Narrow Gauge: (Booklet*)
