Hi Tony. Many thanks. I have the first one but not the allocations book, will add to the 3 mile long wish list!

I can certainly recommend the British Railway Steam Locomotive Allocations as it holds a vast wealth of information during those years of BR. I often refer to it for access to some of the fine locomotives that were in and around 40A Lincoln during the 50's and 60's.
I had lost my combines and other spotting notebooks when I got to the age of 16, and I lost interest. Now I can look back and see what was where, during those great years.
Very useful.
Not cheap but great value.
All the best
Phil
