Book Heyday Of The Hymeks

Whilst visiting Simons emporium today I picked up a copy of Heyday of the Hymeks.
Initial impressions are mixed, the colour and reproduction looks poor in many places, it really needs to be better for a picture book. On the plus there are lots of shots of Green Hymeks quite a few of which I hadnt seen before. I really cant comment on the captions as I have mainly looked at the pictures, but I spotted a couple of errors. One final brickbat, shots of preserved locos :rant: why?
Is it worth buying? If you like green Hymeks then yes I think so, if your tastes are more blue then view before making a decision.

I've had it about a month now & I tend to agree with your first impressions too.........a lot of the captions tend to focus on entering traffic & withdrawal dates which could have been left in a chart in the back or just left out IMO.

Worth buying though :thumbs:

I got this one from Santa, and as I like green Hymeks, I'm very pleased with it...

There is a Warship one out already - 'The Heyday of the Warships' (seems like a bit of trend developing here...:))
