NEW AUGUST 2020. A complete set of Volumes 1, 2 and 3 is now also offered - see RN.DL.  If you purchase Volume 1 then later upgrade to the full set, you can claim this £1.50 off the price you will pay for RN.DL.

The volumes of Railway Notes appear to be quite rare items. Robert Humm wrote an article in the RCHS Journal entitled 'Three forgotten periodicals':  in it, he said "Without doubt Railway Notes is the most obscure of the three..."

It was a monthly publication. Each issue contained between 8 and 12 fairly large glossy pages. There were lots of photographs, mainly 'snapshots' provided by a group of photographers rather than posed official pictures - it may well be that these have not appeared anywhere else. Their quality is reasonable for the time, but unfortunately they are generally small.

To see what else there is, the index to photographs, articles and paragraphs is provided HERE for you to consult. Please note that the extraneous grubby marks on some pages are unique to the index, and do not occur in the actual magazine.

The file is word-searchable and has bookmarks to the separate months. It will be available to download as soon as payment has been made. You go to your account and click on ‘Downloads’. New customers create an account as they place their order.

You may be surprised to learn that Volume 1 No. 1 was not the first edition of Railway Notes - it was the first PRINTED edition. All through the previous six years a typed version was sent by post each month round a circular chain of recipients.  MG018 provides a reconstruction of what may well be the only one of these which still exists.
