Thank you kindly Tony, that means a lot to hear :)

Sold over a hundred copies thus far, very happy with that. If it keeps selling, then we'll work on the next one, which again, will be largely LNER orientated.

Re: The British Railway Stories - Print Run February 2013

In short, we're doing a print run!

Here are some pictures of the final proof sample.

Lots still to do before the plates are made, but very excited to be at this stage of development.

Since my last post, we've sold over 500 eBooks worldwide on the Amazon Kindle and Kobo. There was a demand for a printed book, and with our earnings from the eBook sales, we're going to meet that demand with a limited edition of 1000, to be printed and bound at the end of the month.

There's a special thank you to LNER Forum members in the back of the book, in the "Special Thanks" page too.

Congratulations mate... really pleased for you.
And one thing you need to remember...if it wasn't for me seeing your series in 2008.... I wouldn't be doing what I am today!

Thanks mate! :)

That's the thing I take the greatest pleasure from Tom. That sort of effect. It's that we made people sit up and take notice, and made a difference. That's the bit which matters most to me, whether we sell out or not.
