The Bluebell Railway was the premier preserved line in the thirty
-year period covered in this book. Busy as he was with recording
working BR s team in the mid- sixties, David Christie's first visit
to the line was by train in 1964 and then from 1967 more frequently
by car, with a total of eighteen trips. The greater proportion of
these were in the period 1969-72 when the line was usually worked
by tank engines and nothing larger than the 'Duke dog' 4-4-0. The
later, more in frequent visits witnessed a change from the 'sleepy
branch line' image to more of a 'cross-country' feel, using longer
trains with larger locomotives. With an array of incredible
unpublished photography covering the heyday of this iconic line,
from 1964 to 1993, the author offers a wonder fully nostalgic and
brilliantly evocative record of this wonderful period in the life
of the Bluebell Railway.
