Industrial Railway Locomotive Sheds by Adrian Booth

Any book written by Adrian Booth is always worth a look, and this one is no exception. It contains 146 black and white photographs of industrial railway loco sheds, both standard and narrow gauge.
As you can imagine there's a huge variety of sheds featured, from the clean, efficient multiple road sheds of the larger systems to far more basic facilities. That lovers of industrial grime will find much of interest goes without saying, but there are some sheds featured that appear to by in quite rural settings. There's also quite a variety in design as well, from austere corrugated iron to some rather ornate brick structures.
Recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in the industrial railway scene.

    Thanks for the tip, Paul. I have just gone to Bill Hudson Books on the web and bought this!

    I'm sure that you won't be dissapointed Iain, there really is some interesting stuff in there.
    Mine came from Bill Hudson as well, but from his stand at Nottingham exhibition.
