It was mentioned in the WRRC newsletter. I'd be interested in the comments of anyone who has a chance to read it.

Hi Nigel,

I worked my way through the Google extracts last night.

Have been researching NSWGR PW for two years now so
can understand some of the issues that the author has
had to deal with in research terms.

Given the historical length of time covered, and the number of
players, both engineers and railway companies, it is necessarily
concise.
But what I read was very well done.
This is a massively overdue text. I'm buying the hardcover.

If you buy the hardcover from Pen & Sword for 32 quid (RRP 40) you can get the ebook version for another 1.99. Amazon.co.uk wants the full 40 for the hardcover...
