Hello all, glad to find you --
I am trying to help a friend to dispose of some of her recently deceased father's books - many of which are railway-related -- he had a great interest in many things, but one of his chief loves was railroad.
I'll be adding these books to my library with the tag "rail," and they will be available for little cost - enough to cover the shipping chiefly, and I can mediate and put people in touch with the widow, who would be shipping them. The books are all in the UK, so postage would be greater I imagine, the further out one lives. The primary reason for me doing it this way rather than hauling the lot to the used book shop is that many are pretty specialised titles from what I can see, and the people involved would really like for the books to go to someone who would really appreciate them.
Thanks, and feel free to message me for any further details - in the meantime, have a look and see if there's anything interesting for you.

best,
Pete

Thanks, Pete. Quite an impressive collection. Let me know if you have any specifically on African railways.

Cheers!
John

I might have an interest, but I do live in the U.S. My main interest is in local railways, electric railways, tramways, and railroad station operation and architecture.

Further,

I did look at the 40 catalogued so far, and noted that the first book listed is by Brian Solomon whose father I know fairly well -- and I have met the son. Brian lives in Ireland -- the father lives in Massachusetts.

Pete,

Can you re-post when you add any more. There's a few things in there that make me prick up my ears a bit, but nothing mega so far. And if you think those are specialised, you should see my library! (And you can...)
