Full Size Acquired Wagons of British Railways by David Larkin

[timbowales]

A post in another place (I can’t find it now) asked if more volumes of this series would be published after the Publisher started releasing the first book in Mr Larkin’s follow on series on air braked wagons.
An email to Crecy has brought the good news that Volume 6 is planned to be published this May. That just leaves Vols 7 & 8!

Any ideas what vol 6 will contain? I have all of them so far and guess it's now a mopping up operation....

Tony, as I intend to buy all eight volumes ( if I live long enough for them all to be published :^) ) I didn’t ask that question
Sorry,

Thanks Tim, I guess it will be 1 planks, or less.
Cheers

As I reported earlier on RMWeb, Dave has confirmed he has submitted both all volumes of Acquired and all 3 volumes of Air brake to Crecy. As he isn't getting any younger he would also like Crecy to get on with publishing them - but I suspect Crecy understand marketing rather better than Dave.

Personally I would like them to be published sooner rather than later as well.
I suspect, though, that Crecy will spin it out and only publish one volume a year :^(

This book is now listed on Crecy’s website, www.crecy.co.uk
Unfortunately it’s yet more opens! Will I live long enough for the series to reach some vans?

Volume 4 was about vans and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Hi Tim. Yes, I've tried ebay and Google plus ABE Books :-(

Hi Tim. Yes, I've tried ebay and Google plus ABE Books :-(

Did you find one?

 

[Pencarrow]

On the basis that a bit of a search of all the usual, and some unusual, sources has come up blank, I wonder if a reprint of Vol 1 might be called for?

Volume 6 is now available.
Unfortunately for my wallet it includes several interesting conversions of Warflats for steel coil carrying......
