Re: Ways to support your tourist railroad and museums in these tough times

One of the more creative ideas for supporting your favorite tourist railway comes from James Waite, who posts here on occasion. He has produced a photo book on the Talyllyn Railway, the first preserved railway in the UK . It is titled Talyllyn Railway - A Journey by Steam. It sells for £18.95 and the publisher makes a £5 contribution to the Talyllyn for each book sold. It's all color and hard bound with 120 pages. James says that 95% of the photos have never been published before.
I bought a couple extra copies, since the shipping charges for three was about the same as for one. If anyone would like a copy, PM me.
Later this year he will be doing another book on narrow gauge steam in the America's, covering Canada to Argentina. This is also as a benefit for the Talyllyn.
