Hi All,
I've been enjoying myself building HO wagons from the illustrations and drawings in the book "The LMS Wagon" by Essery and Morgan. I'd like to build a few more from other railways and particularly from the L&Y. What similar books can you all suggest or recommend that I might find at reasonable prices?
L&Y coaches and loco books also would be of interest.
Regards, Greg.P.

There is a similar book on L&Y wagons, one of the few that I don't have in my collection so I cannot give you the exact title nor author.
Have a word with one of the large book sellers, Bill Hudson in Matlock would be a good starting point. I'm sure he'd be able to point you in the right direction, or maybe even supply.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Society appears to be very active (will be joining myself when I have some spare dosh) you might want to give them a try.
Greg, There are a number of booksellers with on-line catalogues in the misc. section of the links page at you should find a number of wagon books there. Keith Make friends in the hobby. Keith Visit Garratt photos for the big steam lovers.
My L&Y dabbling is a little sideline to my proper South German layout. My Grandmother assisted on the L&Y ambulance train during WWI so I'm building an HO "Highflyer" Atlantic and coaches - the 2-4-2Ts have taken my fancy and ... This is starting to get out of hand! It all started with a Lima HO 4F that fell into my hands - that needed a major rebuild, then some wagons ...

Thanks Keith. The links will be most useful. Really though, I need recommendations of books because I can't view them until I've paid for them to be posted to me here in New Zealand. I know one can't have too many books, but I've just built a complete wall of bookshelves in the new house and there's still cartons of books with no where to live. I had a clearout before I moved, got rid of two of my books and a carton of my wife's!
Regards, Greg.P.
