 FESTINIOG RAILWAY MAGAZINE BINDERS

‘Wirex’ Binders to hold twelve issues of the FR Magazine are available at £7.50 each. This new stock has a wider spine to accommodate the thicker magazines of Volumes 16 & 17 (181 onwards).

A dwindling stock of the earlier size of binder still remains; postal charges mean these, too, must be £7.50 each. Please check stocks before ordering.

Second hand binders, to suit earlier sizes of FR Magazines are sometimes available at £5.00 each, post paid. Please check stocks by letter, or email to sales@frheritage.org.uk before sending your order.

FR HERITAGE GROUP JOURNAL BINDERS

‘Cordex’ Binders to hold twelve issues of the HG Journal are available at £7.50 each.

In response to comments from members about the filing of the early, thinner, Journals we have ordered a limited quantity of binders, only 50, with 18 cords, instead of 12. These, too, are £7.50 each, post paid. Please make it clear if you are ordering these binders.

FR HERITAGE GROUP JOURNAL BACK ISSUES

Various back numbers of the Heritage Group Journal are available. Issues 24 – 47 are £1.00 each; 48 – 56 are £1.25; 57 – 77 are £1.50 and 78 onwards are £2.00 each. They can be obtained from Peter Harrison, 1 Peel Street, Runcorn, Cheshire WA7 1JP but it is essential to check which issues remain available before ordering, by letter or email to membership@frheritage.org.uk.

FESTINIOG RAILWAY SOCIETY NEWSLETTERS REPRINT

Between October 1954 and March 1958, prior to the introduction of the FR Magazine, the Society issued 13 Newsletters, a Special Bulletin and an Interim Newsletter. To mark the 50th anniversary of restoration FRHG reprinted these historic documents as an A5 booklet including contemporary photographs. The last few copes remain available at £12.00. Do not delay if you still want a copy - there will be no second batch.

MEDALS

Designed by Michael Seymour these bronze medals were struck in 1982 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the FR Company. £7.00 each.

REVISED, MILLENIUM EDITION, FESTINIOG RAILWAY CHRONOLOGY

Available on CD-ROM or floppy disk the FR Chronology now covers virtually the whole of the 19th and 20th centuries, although events of earlier times are, of necessity, recorded in less detail. An index for the FR Magazine listing all major articles, illustrations, portraits, obituaries, correspondence and book reviews is included, together with a detailed gazetteer of the route. The price of either version (3 disks or 1 CD) is £12.

Holders of earlier editions should apply for details of an upgrade.

WHERE WOULD DOUBLE TRACK HAVE GONE?

A CD-ROM showing an early draft of the deposited plans for the 1869 Act, covering approximately two thirds of the line. There are deviations from the present route and a never built tunnel. £5.00 each.

BOOKS

FR Gravity Trains, by Peter Johnson is an A5 booklet containing a series of articles originally published in the FR Magazine with contributions from historians Michael Seymour & Michael Lewis and reminiscences from former employee of the old FR Co. Tom Davies and Will Jones; £1.00 each.

Heritage Group Album contains a very full account, with accompanying photographs, by Philip Vaughan Davies of his involvement with the FR during the period of the ‘takeover’ in 1954-55, together with a series of photographs of the derelict railway, taken in 1954 by John Snell. £2.00 each.

NEW – EXTENDED INDEX FOR BOYD’S BIBLE

Jim Hewett and Keith Bradbury have compiled this extended index to the 1975 edition, and subsequent reprints, of Boyd’s Bible. Sorting is by subject and the list runs to 48 A5 pages, rather more than the one in the book! A real bargain at £5.00 each.

The same team have done a similar job for the earlier editions of Boyd as well. Though it is not as large it is still good value at £2.50, only limited numbers have been printed.

PRINTS

A4 reproductions, on 300gsm silk art paper, of the three line engravings in Robert Fairlie’s book Battle of the Gauges Renewed. Ideal for framing, £2.00 per set of three.

SCALE DRAWINGS

Lists of scale drawings for a wide variety of FR locos and Rolling Stock and the modern carriages for the WHR can be obtained by sending an A5 SAE to Adrian Gray, or an email to sales@frheritage.org.uk.
