Tickets of the Welsh Highland Railway 1923 – 1936 - £6 post paid

This 42 page soft-cover, profusely illustrated, A4 book in full colour shows examples of all the numerous tickets issued by the Welsh Highland during its brief life. It is indeed a reflection of the history of the line through its ticket issues. The book includes examples of the famous ticket punch carried by the guard and seen in many old photos of the line and it also includes a copy of the First Class Free Pass issued to Col H. F. Stephens in 1924.

Compiled by Welsh Highland historians John Keylock and Derek Lystor, it is a real bargain at £6.50.  Click here to see sample pages.

The Buffet Car - £6 post paid

The buffet car was the first vehicle of its type to grace any narrow gauge railway in the country. Converted from an original North Wales Narrow Gauge coach it was sold along with the rest of the stock in 1942. That it survived was one of those serendipitous events which characterise railway preservation; that it is been restored to its original condition by Welsh Highland Heritage Railway at Gelert's Farm  is something of a minor miracle.

Here Peter Liddell covers every aspect of the vehicle using photographs and drawings. There is also a full sized reproduction of the original 1942 sale document which has also survived.
