Campbeltown & Machrihanish Light Railway

This is a new edition for Oakwood of the book first published in 1970 by David & Charles with a second edition in 1993 by Plateway Press. This new Oakwood edition has minor updates and some 'new' old photographs. The author, now in his 90s, visited Campbeltown in the early 1930s and again in 1941, thus sparking his interest in this operation. The chapters include 'The Kintyre Peninsula', 'Campbeltown Coalfield', 'Colliery Railway', 'Campbeltown & Machrihanish Light Railway', my favourite chapter name 'The Wee Train, Decline and Fall', plus a chapter on rolling stock etc. Finally, there's an examination of 'if onlys' entitled 'Dreams of Greatness' and an appendix on other railways in the area.
