I have just been commissioned to write a book about the Bakerloo Line (including all the way to Watford Junction and Croxley Green) which will, of course, include some illustrations. While I can take photos of stuff in the present and visible from public areas, that's only part of the story. I'd really like to have some good pictures from the past - the older the better - or of stuff that the public doesn't see, such as depots. If anyone has stuff that they think I'd be interested in, please email me at clive@SimSig.co.uk (not PM; I don't tend to see those very quickly). At this stage, don't worry about huge files; a description and a thumbnail would suffice. I do have a budget for this from the publisher but it's not a big one, so I could only afford to pay a few pounds per picture. I would need an appropriate copyright licence to be signed. All the pictures used would be credited with the name of the photographer and (if different) copyright owner. Thanks in advance.

In the new Train Sim World2 (TSW2) they have the Bakerloo Line on that now & you can drive the 72 stock between Elephant & Castle & Harrow & Wealdstone or VV. It's very good, except for the fact that when you are running next to the WCML nothing is ever seen on that railway. Other than that it's excellent.Is it going to be available in e-format?Not from me, but it is from Crowood (see the link Peter posted). I know they do Kindle and ePub formats. Log in to reply |

Thank you, both of you. I don't know if there will be another book; depends whether I can find the time (it took a lot more effort than I thought). Log in to reply |

If anyone wants to try before they buy, there is an extract from the book starting on Page 62 of the December 2020 edition of Modern Railways.

I didn't realize they were just going to jam them together like that. The photos are all mine. Geoff may remember me taking one of them. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: postal |
