    Does anyone have any images showing GWR Publicity involving the diesel railcars, especially the streamlined pre-WW2 railcars? I haven't found any so far, but would have thought they'd be a great marketing tool and would appear in posters/adverts etc

    Cheers, Rob

    Both of the Railcar Books 1 puplished by OPC and written by Russel and the other by Wild Swan, written by C.W.Judge have copies of AEC Publicity Material in them. I don't have a flat bed Scanner, so I am unable to copy them

    Whhooppss bit of a mix up on the book info front. The J.H.Russel book, was published by Wild Swan, and the C.W.Judge book was published by OPC

    Thanks - I do mean to get the book but money's a bit tight at the moment, even more reason to get it when pay day finally comes out about

    The better of the 2 books is the one by C.W.Judge, so if you can find it at reasonable cost go for that one.

    I can also recommend The British Railcar ( AEC to HST ) by R.M. Tufnell pub David & Charles 1984 ISBN 0-7153-8529-1 ewhich discusses the railcars within the conext of late DMU developments

    The "Judge" book from 1986 was reissued as a paperback in 2008 and is available as new copies on Amazon (from Marketplace sellers rather than Amazon themselves) for just over £13 plus shipping. The original hardback looks expensive secondhand so would appear to be somewhat scarce.

    (Full title: "History of the Great Western AEC diesel railcars.")

    Edit: The Tufnell "British Railcar" book from 1984 looks to be about £9-40..ish for a decent copy on Amazon. ( plus the £2-75 shipping of course....

    Bought a Judge reprint paperback from Amazon earlier this year for exactly that reason 46118. Tufnell is also well worth having, I have both in my office book cupboard!
