Title: Charity shop finds Post by: RichardB on April 24, 2011, 00:17:43 I was in the Oxfam shop on Mutley Plain in Plymouth today and they had a few railway books in stock. All pretty modern and nothing very special (from my point of view). I picked up a "Then and Now" book on the Conwy Valley Line (Blaenau Ffestiniog), new at ^17.95, Oxfam at ^12.99. I left it there.
Looking over at the Devon interest books, I saw an old book with the letters G.W.R. on the spine. Glorious Devon, second edition from 1929. Not brilliant condition, but not bad either. I think it was worth ^2.99. Title: Re: Charity shop finds Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 24, 2011, 00:24:27 Excellent choice - and a bargain, Richard! :)

Any chance of a slightly smaller avatar? It's a nice picture of a Pacer in the snow but just a little large to be used as an avatar. Thanks awfully. ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
