Ken Wightman’s Southern Region Steam
Price range: £23.95 through £24.95
The late Ken Wightman was a photographer whose work has perhaps not received the exposure it deserves. Predominantly, but certainly not exclusively, recording trains on the former South Eastern lines, he was active with his camera in the years prior to electrification and as such was able to record the last days for many classes which after 1959 saw little if any service.
Much of his material is also of superlative quality and Transport Treasury are proud to present this album featuring some of the best of his work.

I was looking forward to receiving this book as it covers a subject that I am particularly interested in.
I would say I was satisfied with the book in that the subject matter was first class given that it is impossible to just go out there and take a photo of these locos etc.
However, like a lot of books containing subject matter from the 1950s and 60s the reproduction of the photos was not always very crisp or sharp. I do appreciate that we are limited by the original quality of the photo so it’s not always possible to get a top quality image.
Overall I would say that the book was a worthwhile purchase as it provides a good record of the subject useful for historians and model enthusiasts.
