{"product_id":"the-groundle-glen-railway-9781871980004","title":"The Groudle Glen Railway","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book outlines the history of the Groudle Glen Railway from opening in 1896 to closure in 1962, and tells the story of its reconstruction and reopening in the 1980's. Although only 3\/4 mile in length, the Railway pioneered the concept of the 'pleasure' railway and has, remarkably, used four different types of motive power - steam, electric, petrol and diesel! Both the line's steam locomotives SEA LION and POLAR BEAR have survived, and the author gives a full account of their rescue and restoration to working order - SEA LION on the Railway itself, and POLAR BEAR at the Amberley Chalk Pits Museum, in Sussex. Profusely illustrated with maps, scale drawing, contemporary advertisements and a new selection of photographs, this book will appeal to all fans of the 'classic' 2ft. gauge railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftback, 56 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plateway Press","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (285)","offer_id":39291979235437,"sku":"9781871980004","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9781871980004.jpg?v=1616766996","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/the-groundle-glen-railway-9781871980004","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
