Midland Railway: Swansea Vale and Branches

by John Miles & Tudor Watkins
A new work concentrating on the Midland "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 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.
