DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
In the first volume of GWR Country Stations, Chris Leigh detailed the history and development of small wayside stations on the Great Western Railway from the original Brunel concept right through to the mass closures of the Beeching era. He described the workings of a typical country station and provided detailed studies and scale drawings of a number of classic structures.
His enthusiasm for the rural byways of the GWR is shared by countless railfans and such was the clamour for more that in this volume he takes up the same theme. GWR Country Stations - 2 follows the same format as before and provides a pictorial supplement to a number of the original chapters, in places picking up the story to provide the reader with an up-to-date account of the fate of some structures.
With the modelmaker still very much in mind, there are more scale drawings together with more extensive pictorial coverage of the other structures and details which were to be found at minor rural stations. Signalboxes, halts, station signs, nameboards and details are all covered. The historical coverage includes some fascinating early views from the Real Photographs archives, and particular attention is paid to examples of station conservation, such as those at Staines West and Windsor & Eton Central.
