I got my hands on a copy of Richard Ellis-Hobbs book about the last state owned steam hauled narrow gauge passenger service in Europe. It's only a short book, and some of the photos have been in Continental Modeller, but it's a real time capsure of hazy summer days, lazy short country trains, ramshackle track and rolling stock and real character in the buildings and stations along the line. It has a little introduction, and then follows a picture/caption format. Perhaps a touch pricey for a short book at £17 from Blurb, but a wonderful resource. Thanks for putting it together Richard, and I hope you follow up with a more general Polish book soon as I'd love to see some more of your photos and hear of your experiences!
