NEW BOOK. With Lance King in Ulster: The Great Northern Area 1955 - 1965

[leslie10646]

Some of you will be aware that I give talks based on the colour photographs of the late Lance King, truly a master photographer. The photographs are in the possession of the Irish Railway Record Society and are their copyright.  Many people asked – “When is The Book out”?

Well, it is out now!

 

It will be officially published on Sunday, but I now have copies in my hands, so I will share the news with you.

These photographs were taken in the province of Ulster and as well as the GNR, the book has almost every colour photograph which Lance took of the Sligo Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway and ONE simply wonderful one of the Co Donegal. His narrow gauge photos must await another volume.

If blue engines and mahogany coaches are your kind of railway – then this is for you. (Buy early for Christmas!).

 

102 pages, about 130 photographs, all but a few in colour.

Available from me at £17.50 plus £2 towards post and packing. 

Please e-mail me at

lesliemcallister@aol.com

and I will send you a link to payment. Profits to the Irish Railway Record Society.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are in Euroland, then please buy your copy from the RPSI Shop at

https://www.steamtrainsireland.com/shop

which allows you to pay in Euros and is set up to post within the Community. That way profit goes to the RPSI, which Lance King supported enthusiastically.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the weekend, it should be possible to find the book and sample pages on the Transport Treasury website

However, if you buy from me or the RPSI then some benefit comes back to Ireland!

Thanks for looking.

Just to say that the sample pages of the book are now on the Transport Treasury website.

When I looked, their software was having blip, so you'll need to use the side arrow to look at other pages
