Description

Western Times 6 continues the tradition of describing the detailed history of the company, its assets and activities. As with each issue the editors have attempted a wide cross-section covering several departments, hence we have the CME represented by 2-6-2T No 3902 and the later years BR Standards that operated on the WR, plus Part 2 of Hawksworth coaches. From the goods department there is the second part of West Country China Clay Traffic, from the signalling department, the 3-position signal at Paddington, and from the traffic department a detailed look at Hungerford station. There are also items on engineering and 1953 recalled as the last Coronation year. In all 80 sides packed with articles and illustrations as well Western Times regular features.
