Freebies!

Back to Home Page.

I scanned a number of smaller items but sold so few it doesn’t justify the effort in creating further printed copies. What I decided is to make them available for free download: just click the links to open the PDF and you can view, save or print them as you wish. They are not up to the normal standard of my reprinted works but they are clear scans and all information is present. Currently, there are 306 different items so there’s sure to be something of interest! One or two of the originals had damage or a page torn out. Where this has occurred it is noted and I can only offer apologies.

The Royal Train and Special Traffic Notices are listed twice on different pages; one listing them in region by region order and another page listing both in date order.

I am happy for you to download and print these notices for free. However, if there is something in particular you want printed out in its original format, please feel free to contact me and ask. It might not always be possible but I’m always willing to look.

I have in my collection a number of LMS ‘Side Strip’ drawings for the Midland Division and one for the Western Division. They are very interesting and give track layouts, gradients, mileages and host of other useful information. Please click the link below to go to that page.

Whilst working through an STN for service alterations caused by the flooding and closure of the line at Herne Bay, I found a page removed from an engineering notice regarding alterations at Canterbury to reinstate the Canterbury Loop Line. This reinstatement occurred on 23-02-1953.

I have a 1964 resignalling drawing for the provision of a new siding at Picketts Lock on the Cambridge Main line that is very interesting.
