Post free in the UK
(postage charged at cost elsewhere in the world i.e. £8.20 for Europe & £10.76 for the
rest of the world.)
334 pages including black & white photos & coloured plates

Contents:
The Elgin (or Charlestown) Railway
The Halbeath Waggonway
The Fordel Waggonway and Railway
Other early railways in the area (including the Venturefair Waggonway, Crombie Waggonway, Balmule Waggonway, etc)
Illustrated by numerous maps, diagrams and photographs. |
The culmination of many years of research, including privileged access to private records, in public archives and following intensive fieldwork, this definitive volume gives authoritative histories of the early railways of West Fife. Until now these have generally been poorly documented (sometimes ignored) and if mentioned at all often repeat erroneous statements from earlier works.
Remarkable discoveries have been made; including for example details of hitherto unrecorded early track and rail designs, and the authenticated arrival in Fife of Scotland’s first steam railway locomotive (thus solving a long standing mystery).
To complement the story, other topics cover the history of the Charlestown branch to closure, Lord Elgin’s 10¼ inch gauge garden railway at Broomhall, and the narrow (and standard) gauge railways of the Crombie RN Depot etc.
A4 size, case bound, full colour dustcover, limited print run. Only available direct from the publisher.
