Railway Collection
Secondhand Railway Books
Railway books are their own kind of collecting. Someone is after a particular line, a works history, a locomotive class they have been chasing for years, or the volume that fills a gap in a run. What is here is whatever I have found, so the shelf changes constantly and rarely holds the same thing twice. At the moment that includes branch line and company histories, the London and Brighton and South Coast, the North Eastern, Crewe works, Brunel, and the occasional first edition. Every book is photographed exactly as it is, so the condition you see in the listing is the condition that arrives.
UK postage from £2.75. Free UK delivery on all orders over £15.

What Our Customers Say
A treasure of a shop
What an incredible find! As a teacher, I always find it hard to update our class reading area and keep within a reasonable price. Often, cheap books are battered and in poor condition, but not here. Thank you so much for helping restock our classroom with exciting new books that the children had asked for! I will definitely be back again for more!
Variety of Books
Arrived quickly in great condition. Children's books I ordered were generally less than £1 and the grown-up fiction books I purchased were only a small percentage of the number of books available. I bought a sweet valley high novel. Hadn't seen them in years. They were a favourite when I was a child.
Great service
I was so pleased to receive six books very quickly after ordering. They were all in good condition and I am looking forward to reading them
