Today the first copies of Australia's Last Steam Railways arrived - the story of the South Maitland and Richmond Vale networks in the New South Wales coalfields. The South Maitland used a fleet of Beyer Peacock 2-8-2Ts, often working double headed, hauling 1500 ton trains until diesel operation took over in 1983, whilst steam survived for a further four years at the Richmond Vale. To be published by Amberley on 15th August

JT 8077, my 1937 Bedford WTB 25 seat coach JT 8077 is still available for sale.
New to Sheasby, South Dorset Coaches in October 1937, in the late 1960s it was acquired by Adge Cutler (of Wurzels fame) and his brother, who rallied it for several years. It then passed to a group based in the Forest of Dean before returning to Dorset to join the fleet of Pearce, Darch and Willcox at Cattistock. Following a major restoration, including replacement of most of the body framing, the coach was re-certified and returned to psv use. Acquired by the present owner in 1992 and used for weddings and vintage tours until I retired from psv operation in 2017.
A very practical coach to use, and as a pre - 1947 registration it is exempt from tachograph requirements for psv work - a useful consideration!
Asking price £25000
