ELECTRAIL   COLOUR   SLIDES

List  26  X                             February 2006

This list includes details of copy 35mm slides of railways, and of tramways in Europe and America.

ALSO views of coastal shipping EXCEPT Clyde Estuary.  There is a separate list for Clyde Estuary subjects.

Why does the Electric Railway Society produce slides of coastal steamers?  The steamers very often connect with railways at important piers – such as Portsmouth Harbour, Gourock, or Wemyss Bay – and many people are therefore interested in both types of transport.
