The Good Old Days
Print runs are limited so be quick.
Producing a book of fascinating individual photographs from the era when namings were forbidden, and everything had to appear in BR's corporate 'Monastral Blue' livery, is not easy.
But with expert photography and an inspired choice of varied locations, Ken has achieved exactly that with this excellent book.
Sometimes, a trip down Memory Lane can be a disappointing, dampening experience.
When we press time’s rewind button, those vintage recollections of yesteryear have somehow lost their lustre. Nostalgia has cheated us, replacing awe and wonder with a sense of the ordinary.
There’s no such disillusionment, though, with Ken Gambles’ splendid book “The Good Old Days.”
Through quality photos, you can almost hear the wide variety of much loved locos from the 1970s and 1980s rumbling and roaring out of the pages and the book is a fine tribute to the days when these range-finders of the rails, some regal, some ragamuffins, transported people and materials to wherever they needed to go.
The spread of information in the photo captions is impressive, too, and Ken has done a fine job of recapturing the real essence of what to many enthusiasts really were “the good old days.”
A wide selection of good photographs by Ken Gambles. There is a wide range diesel and electric trains at very different locations. I’m sure you will enjoy the book.
Very good book
a varied collection of images of both diesels and dmus (and class 76s) from the blue era. Enjoyable and helps bring back memories of my travels at that time.

"This does not affect any UK sales. Regrettably one of the issues from Brexit is something called IOSS which the EU has instigated. This means all items being sent into the EU must have individual VAT declarations made and the suppliers of these goods are to register and comply with the relevant rules and collect and report VAT from you the customers. This takes place from 1 July and will impose larger than acceptable administration costs to many sm..."
