The Southern Way, Bumper Preview Issue

At last a regular Volume for the Southern devotee. SECR, LBSCR, LSWR, SR, BR-S, steam, electric and diesel, all are in our remit. Similar volumes exist for the LMS, Midland, and GWR enthusiast - it's about time there was one for the Southern as well! The first, 'Preview' issue will be produced in early 2007, 'No1' in Autumn 2007, three further issues in 2008, and four from 2009 onwards. Each issue will contain a mixture of articles and photographs covering a wonderfully rich list of subjects - and invariably NEW MATERIAL both in content and PHOTOGRAPHICALLY.

Just look at what is in the preview issue:

- Early day trials and tribulations with the 'Merchant Navy' class

- Unseen photos from the Hulton Picture Library

- more in future issues!

- Civil Engineering as you have never seen it before.

- lots more where these came from later!

- Previously unpublished colour of the Isle of Wight lines, The Southern electric locos and lots more.

We have something like 5000+ unpublished views at our disposal.
