Soft cover. Condición: As New. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Should be in as new condition, but stored for 9 years, so small blemishes might be visible. David Henshaw (ilustrador).

Soft cover. Condición: New. No Jacket. 3rd Edition. The Great Railway Conspiracy was written in 1991, and covered the catastrophic collapse of the British railway system in the 1960s that saw closure or harsh rationalisation of many lines. Henshaw's thesis is that some of these closures were inevitable, but many were totally counterproductive, costing the economy far more than the simple balance-sheet of rationalisation had yielded. Evidence is drawn from later traffic figures on the surviving branch lines and the success of reopened railways. The book was reprinted in 1993 and again in 2013. This is the updated third edition bringing the story up to the early days of railway privatisation and the phenominal traffic growth on the surviving 'near-miss' Beeching branch lines, and reopened services. Brand new from storage, but may show some slight fading on the cover. David Henshaw (ilustrador). Signed by Author(s).…

Soft cover. Condición: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A century ago most large agricultural enterprises utilised a railway of some kind. Only peat railways and a handful of watercress railways survived into the late 20th century. Just one is still in (ocassional) use - the Dodding's Farm watercress railway in Dorset, which has now operted for over a century.

The book is new, and direct from the publisher. David Henshaw (ilustrador). Signed by Author(s).…

Soft cover. Condición: New. No Jacket. 3rd Edition. New, from author's personal stock. 'Apex: The Inside Story of the Hillman Imp' is the definitive book chronicling the development, launch, and troubled production of the 1960s British economy car. It's a detailed history of this unusual economy car, born from the 1956 Suez fuel crisis. The Henshaw brothers explore the political pressure to build the factory in Scotland, the technical challenges, and the car's cult status today. The story covers the Rootes Group's 'Slug' project, the Linwood factory issues, and various variants from prototype to final production, with a thoroughly updated 2023 edition available. The car had a reputation as a highly-strung, advanced, but often unreliable machine. This third edition from 2023 is heavily updated, with many new colour photos, and details on rare prototypes.
