Midland
Railway: Swansea Vale and Branches
by John Miles & Tudor
Watkins
A new work concentrating
on the Midland Valley "mainline" through the Lower Swansea Valley, with
diversions along the branch line to Brynamman and the Morriston Loop. Another
high quality photographic compilation, the book is a valuable source of
reference for a system which has now almost completely vanished.

 Steam
in Mid Wales
by Michael Hale
The seventh volume by Michael Hale to cover Welsh
steam, it explores the railways and byways of Mid Wales from edge of the
industrial area in the south to Pwllheli and Wrexham in the north.
As in his previous books, many of the lineside
structures illustrated lasted for only a short while after being captured
on camera. This photographic record, accompanied by informative captions
and historical notes, is thus a valuable chronicle of the later years of
steam in this part of Wales.

 Steam
in South Wales
Volume 6 - The General Scene by Michael
Hale.
The final volume in this excellent, fully illustrated
review of steam operations across South Wales. The earlier regional volumes
of this series are now sadly out of print, but this volume covers all of
South Wales, including many lines not previously examined in detail, and
with many of the images having never before been seen in print it is a
worthy conclusion to the series.

Private
Owners on the Cambrian by Mike Morton Lloyd
An excellent book for the modeller of the extensive
Cambrian Railways system which stretched from Brecon in mid-Wales to Wrexham
in the North, and from Pwllheli in the west to Ellesmere in rural Shropshire.
This book briefly examines the role of the Railway Clearing House in regulating
Private Owner waggons before moving on to illustrated directories revealing
both Cambrian based private traders, as well as others whose waggons were
regular visitors.

 The
Aber Branch
Caerphilly to Senghenydd by Colin Chapman
A detailed examination of this short Rhymney Railway
branchline from inception, through initial success to ultimate demise.
Built to provide an outlet for the coal mines in the valley, it started
to suffer after the closure of the colliery at Senghenydd, which never
really recovered from the two pit disasters which struck it.
This book is fully illustrated with many fine photographs,
signalling and track diagrams, and is a worthy addition to any bookshelf.
