Books about early NIR

[Dunluce Castle]

Hello all,

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend any books which specially cover the early NIR years, just after the UTA or a book with a bit of both? The reason I ask is because I obtained the DVD "Steam in Northern Ireland, the final years", its very good and has lots of interesting scenes, so I just want to expand upon it.

Thanks,

Nelson

Thank you for all those Kieran, I have just bought Steam's last fling off Amazon, looking forward to it. Unfortunely I had to buy a second hand one, I just hope it comes in good nick.

35 years of NIR is the must have of that list, full of information and pictures.

Unfortunely it's expensive and outside of my budget, however I'll remember to save up for it.

I have just received Steam's Last Fling today and I have to say, I really do like the way it is written and I really do enjoy reading the personal observations, it really does set the scene for someone like me who was never there. Looking forward to a couple days of reading.
