I don't mean to be rude but what are you actually trying to say? Are you saying that there is a book coming out on 'Red Pannier Tanks' or there is a flyer being sold for £27 or even a pannier tank for £27?
If you do mean, as I think, that there is about to be a book released on LT Pannier Tanks are you able to give anymore details about it such as publisher, content, release date etc?
Again I'm sorry if I am seeming to be rude but a book on LT Pannier tanks is something that belongs on one of my bookshelves!

You are wrong With utmost respect, I was mentioning that this other book was available. The book on LT tanks sounds an excellent 'must have'. I only ever saw one once, at Hammersmith running on the WB Local on the Acton Works trip. |

In the interests of Pannier Tanks, forgiveness shall be descended unto thee.

The afformentioned book is now part of my collection. 'Red Panniers. Last Steam On The Underground' by John Scott-Morgan and Kirk Martin grabbed my attention at the LT museum in Covent Garden today. The £27 price tag had me reeling until I looked through it. The bit at the end giving a brief overview of LT wagons suckered me in and I bought it. I read it on the train on the way home and can tell one and all that it is worth every penny!
On the way north (Covent Garden was a port of call while travelling 'pass' south after working north) I travelled on the down avoiding line at Didcot. For those with a love of Panniers 3650 in blue 'Stephenson Clarke Ltd' livery is looking superbly scruffy at the mo.

Even though I think Frank Pick might well be spinning in his grave at the association of Swindon <spit> and Pannier Tanks <spit> with London Transport, I can heartily recommend the book - surprisingly interesting and reveals a lot about structure gauges. I've (unsurprisingly) not got a copy, but I breezed through a display edition in Lower Marsh the other week. Note to AI - 'Building of the Victoria Line' on DVD would go down very well for Divali. |

Excellent *Panniers* and *Swindon*: though from memory a) Panniers were also made by outside contractors and b) so many were built by BR. I used to own shares in 9682 at Southall, and that was a BR-built loco. Of course the GWR owned a share in H&C trains (their only electric stock by any interpretation) and GWR locos ran over the Met and CWL.
