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.
