This long awaited, beautifully illustrated (see
cover above) reference work was launched at the March 2002 Sheffield Railwayana
Auction. It contains the most comprehensive list so far of the stations
equipped with these sought-after and evocative reminders of the truly great days
of rail travel. Over 220 pages are devoted to the study of the design,
manufacturing, pioneer collectors, themes and rarities. Separate chapters
focus on each of the six regions, with greatly expanded and easily updateable
databases containing auction and survival lists. The book is hardback
landscape A4 format in full colour. It is sure to become the
definitive guide for collectors and railway historians alike and critical
reviews have praised the book for quality and content.
The authors
have compiled the largest ever collection of photographs (over 1380) depicting
Totem Signs in situ during BR days and in preservation - the vast majority
being previously unpublished. This book
will transport the reader back in time on a railway journey around Great
Britain during the totem era of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
