    Great day for you Simon, congratulations, but I wonder whether/how your day job, your MNLPS role, the PhD and your books in your spare time will add up! I hope Bulleid doesn't draw the short straw.

    Here are the two Holcroft volumes for the SR list. My copy of Vol 1 doesn't have a publication date that I can see.

    HOLCROFT, H, Locomotive Adventure Fifty Years with Steam, Ian Allan Ltd
    HOLCROFT, H, Locomotive Adventure Volume II Running Experiences, Ian Allan Ltd 1965

    Good luck and enjoy the doctorate.
