TRANSCRIPT
The Railway Gazette – Special War
Transportation Number
2014 marks the centenary of the start of the Great War. This
was a war unlike any which the world had seen before, not least
in the application of mechanical means to transport. In 1920,
The Railway Gazette published a special edition to record
transport used in the war. This would have been the first time
that most readers would have become aware of the machines
and techniques used to achieve the recent victory – much of it
had been secret until then. Since 1920, copies of this special
edition have been highly prized collectors’ items.
As part of the events to mark the centenary of the conflict, the
Moseley Railway Trust has worked with Railway Gazette
International to re-print the 1920 special edition. The original
has been professionally scanned and enhanced, to maximise
the reproduction of the many original pictures. New colour
covers and a foreword have been added. The book is “A4” size,
and contains 160 pages. The print run is limited, and demand is
certain to be strong. Please note that the hardback version of
this book is now sold out, and the softback is selling fast – DO
NOT DELAY if you want a copy!
Softback - £14.95
Hardback – Sold Out
Post & packing - £4.00 per book.
