More articles now available on the blog…

With the kind cooperation of the editors of Old Glory and Narrow Gauge World we are now able to offer more articles on Beamish transport subjects to read on the blog.  If you click on the downloads section on the menu bar, and select ‘Articles’ you will find a number of new and recently added articles from these two publications, alongside those already there and also features from Steam Railway and Heritage Railway Magazines.  I am, as ever, very grateful to these publications and their editors, and original authors (where not myself!) for allowing us to present them here.  Hopefully they add to the sum of knowledge regarding our transport collection and rest assured that this is by no means a complete list, with several further pieces in preparation for publication later in the year.  Naturally we leave a time-lapse between featuring in the mags and being placed on the blog!  I suppose really the blog has now developed into a fully fledged website – maybe we should think of it in these terms in the future?

A number of trade catalogues are also being scanned to add to that section of the site, again looking at road construction and plant subjects – something there is a real shortage of comprehensive information of online (as far as I can find).

I also hope the new 2013 stocklist will be published online shortly – there are a couple of new entries that I am checking on plus quite a few updates of existing sections too.  Not many updates on the blog this week as I have broken my camera, but normal service should be resumed soon!
