12/5/17 Want a job at the world's first preserved railway? GENERAL MANAGER
AND ENGINEERING MANAGER VACANCIES We are looking for a
General Manager who will be responsible to the
Company Board for the management of the
Railway and for the implementation of
strategies, policies and objectives. They
will: •
lead, manage
and motivate the employees and volunteers. •
manage the
assets and activities of the Railway. •
develop commercial,
marketing and external funding opportunities
to ensure the financial sustainability of
Railway. •
ensure that the
Railway provides an excellent visitor
experience. •
take executive
responsibility for Health and Safety. This is a
challenging but rewarding post and a great
opportunity for someone who is likely t! o
have managerial experience in a similar or
related volunteer-focused heritage
organisation. A railway background is
desirable. We are looking for proven
management, business and financial skills and
someone with the character and personality to
actively promote and develop the Railway, and
to manage change whilst protecting and
preserving its exceptional character and
charm. We are looking for
an Engineering Manager who will be responsible
for the management of the Railway’s
engineering department, all assets and
infrastructure. They will efficiently and
effectively manage engineering staff and vol!
unteers. They will ensure that the engineering
processes required to r un trains are
maintained, developed and regularly reviewed,
as well as managing the associated engineering
administration. A practical railway
engineering background is essential. We are
looking for someone with proven management and
engineering skills, who has a full
understanding of Health & Safety
legislation. For an informal
discussion, please contact David Ventry, the
Company Chairman, by e-mail (chairman.board@talyllyn.co.uk) giving a contact
number and best time to make contact. 12/5/17 Not sure this would work with my stock.Out of 5000+ I doubt if 10 are by women authors! Promoting your bookshop can be costly and
many know that money spent on conventional
advertising is not the most effective option.
So does it pay to be original? 12/5/17 NOW IN STOCK!!! Andy Cuckson's long awaited book "The Snailbeach District Railways" Twelveheads Press 2017 1st 223pp Ills. 273 illustrations, many previously unpublished, numerous drawings, track plans etc.the result of over 20 years research and wow it was worth the wait! Hardback in dustwrapper. IN STOCK. £30.00+ p&p 11/5/17 Decided to do a bit more on Twitter.Seems only right as Birds twitter all the time. https://twitter.com/nbrailwaybooks 11/5/17 After firing off several rockets in the general direction of their (Tor Mark) rear end I am told I will have The Snailbeach book tomorrow.Lets see! 10/5/17 Emails are real easy to reply to,(and free) so why of why I am still waiting after 3 days for a reply from Crecy Publishing re opening a trade account and Tor Mark (Book wholesalers) about an order.They must have so much business they don't want any more.I wish I did.!See below for update! 11/5/17 Well well got a reply from Tor Mark
today.Inspiring I don't think! Fancy
taking your old site out of use whilst still
having your site redesigned! Thank you for your email, you order has been dispatched today. Our website is being redesigned and is currently not in use. Sorry for any inconvenience. Kind regards Betty 7/5/17 My latest catalogue (91) is now on line.Since completing this over 700 books have come into stock, so if there is something you want please contact me I may have it sitting in a box waiting to be catalogued. http://www.nigelbirdbooks.co.uk/html/catalogue.html 4/5/17 Ticket to Dent-Book Review. Just finished reading this, which came out a few weeks ago.In many ways not a railway book as such, more a biography of the author and his recollections of buying Dent station and running it is a very up market holiday let.It makes very interesting reading (if rather repetitive as he uses it as a marketing tool more than once!) Some of the photo reproduction is rather poor with heavy pixelation of images, which in this day and age there is no excuse for surely.I remember the station being up for sale and me wishing if I only had £300,000+ spare it would be agreat place to live and run a railway bookshop from-daydreaming again!Copies are available from Booklaw (www.booklaw.co.uk) at £25+ p&p. 3/5/17 Good news on the long awaited Snailbeach book (£30+ p&p).I hope to have stocks within a few days. 2/5/17 Just had this from
Talyllyn Railway.Bit of a shock tbh!
We would like to share
with you the news that Tracey will be
departing the post of General Manager for
the Railway to take up a new post on
another heritage line. I am sure you will
share with us our thanks for the effort
and contribution that she has made over
the past year.
Tracey has brought energy
and a fresh perspective to the Railway
which has enabled us to move forwards in a
number of ways. Tracey will leave us in a
much improved state (currently we have
greatly increased passenger numbers and
revenue) and has initiated many new ideas,
which we are confident will bear fruit in
the future. We will wish her well when she
leaves for her new role and hope that she
will have the success there that her
enthusiasm and talents deserve.
In the meantime we will
be moving forward with all appropriate
speed to find the right person to develop
the Railway further. Interim measures will
also be put in place after Tracey leaves
to ensure the momentum we have developed
in recent years will not diminish.

40th Anniversary of Independence last week
with three days of events marking this
milestone. Hay was the first 'book town' to be
founded and many more have been set up in
countries across the world. By all accounts a
large number of bibliophiles from the UK and
overseas travelled to Hay to join in the
celebrations - an anniversary that is to
become an annual event. 6/4/17 As if Amazon are not making enough in fees,they want more from August 1st.They may well kill the golden goose, as without sellers on their market place they have no business. Dear Seller, In the coming months, we will make several changes to features and fees relating to the sale of Media items on the Amazon Marketplace at Amazon.co.uk. We are introducing several changes that will further improve the customer experience and provide you with increased flexibility. Set your own shipping rates for Media items Effective 1 August 2017, you will be able to set your own shipping rates (including offering free shipping) for books, music, video, and DVD items and to set different shipping rates by region for expedited delivery or by country for international delivery. No change will be made to your shipping rates without your action. Changes to Selling on Amazon fees for Media items We will be making two changes to how Selling on Amazon fees* are charged for Media items (including books, music, video, DVD, software, and video games). These fee changes will not take effect until 1 August 2017 to give you time to plan accordingly. a) Variable Closing Fees (VCF): The VCF charge in Media categories (books, music, video, DVD, software, and video games) will change as per the table below. This charge will appear as a Closing Fee (CF) instead of as a VCF to avoid confusion, as it will be a fixed fee rate and not variable. Closing Fees Before 1st August From 1st
August b) Referral fees: Currently, the referral fee for Media items is an applicable percentage of an item’s sales price (excluding any shipping or gift wrap charges). Effective 1 August 2017, the referral fee will instead be calculated on the total sales price (the total amount paid by the customer, including the item price and any shipping or gift wrap charges). 6/4/17 So far this week (and it's only Thursday) I have been offered 8 (yes 8!) book collections, ranging from smallish (under 200) to one collection of over 1000 titles.I have bought 2 and am collecting one of these tomorrow.If only I had unlimited space, funds and buyers! 4/4/17 As part of my ongoing "lets make more room for new stock" programme I have listed quite a few model railway catalogues etc.on Ebay.Click the link or search on Ebay for seller ncb53 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201879781105… I also have Not worth listing on Ebay I also have 13 copies of W&H (Models) Ltd catalogues from 1960s/early 1970's most in vgc a few have loose covers.£20 the lot including UK p&p. 4/4/17 More news on the long awaited Snailbeach District Railways book.Due next month,(May 2017) hardback, 218 pages,273 illustrations (many previously unpublished) £30 + p&p.This will not have a large print run so order NOW to avoid missing out on this definitive work.ADVANCE ORDERS TAKEN.You will not be charged until the book is in stock. 29/3/17 SPECIAL OFFER ON OAKWOOD PRESS TITLES.

22/3/17 Back in the "good old days" when a company was putting it's prices up they just said so (sometimes even apologising), now you get all this BS first...(That's Royal Mail, Ebay and now auction sniper all putting up prices, who makes these decisions? I assume they think If we put up our prices more people will use our services, sorry the opposite applies.Royal Mail really need to be aware of this in a very competitive market) "Update On Services The Auction Sniper team has built the best sniping program available. Our recently released mobile snipe capability has helped our customers win more than ever before. We are powering the most effective snipers on eBay and continue to make significant improvements to our algorithms, plus our data science team is building machine learning intelligence into the Auction Sniper platform. We’ve made significant investments into Auction Sniper and continue to see the best yield for people who are focused on winning eBay auctions. We're writing to let you know, we’ll soon be making modifications to our pricing model. These pricing modifications help us offset increased infrastructure and support costs necessary for maintaining and investing in our service. In fact, in over 15 years of service, this is the first time we’ve adjusted our pricing model. Starting April 3, 2017, the modified plan will take effect. Here is a summary of the update: For auctions won that end at $23.99 USD, the fee will now be $0.35 USD; for auctions won that end between $24.00 and $995.00 USD, the fee will be 1.5% of the final price; and for auctions won that end at $995.01 USD or more, the fee will be $14.99 USD. There are no additional fees for adult category or eBay Motors auctions. Foreign currency auctions (GBP, AU dollars, etc.) will be converted to American dollars at the daily currency exchange rate before the 1.5% fee is determined. As has been the case in our ongoing operations, your credit card will be billed on the last week of each month if your balance exceeds $2.50 USD. If your balance is below $2.50 USD, it will be carried over to the next month for a maximum of six months at which time your account will be charged regardless of the total amount due. During months in which you purchase shipping insurance through Auction Sniper, the minimum charge becomes $1.00 USD. As usual, Auction Sniper does not pay the seller of items you've won using our service. The fees we collect are only for the cost of using our snipe service. You must pay the seller of your won items in your normal manner. Sincerely, The Auction Sniper Team 20/3/17 All the GWR Bradford Bartons now listed. 36741.

Author published in 2003 1st edition. Two hardbound volumes in slipcase, the purpose of the Atlas is to show ALL railway lines opened to traffic in Great Britain (Passenger and Goods) (NOT Northern Ireland) between 1807 and 1994, annotated with historical detail ie owning company, opening and closing years, station renamings (with dates), tunnels (shown and named),water troughs,inclines etc. All this information is shown, superimposed in colour for each operating company on 1 inch to 1 mile Ordnance Survey Maps (latest being 1971) So you get all the map detail ie towns, villages, rivers,etc etc in 1 inch scale PLUS the route of all railways clearly added on top.Volume 1 has 434 pages,(all maps) volume 2 has 213 pages of maps PLUS 12 pages of family trees of railway company ownership, plus 31 page index! Each volume is some 13 inches by 12 inches so the detail is clear and legible.High quality printing and binding in purpose made slipcase. A real labour of love. This IS the ultimate railway atlas.Each volume is truly fine,(no inscriptions) the slipcase is also fine.A better used set you will struggle to find.It weighs over 8 kilo's! Due to weight, postal costs (particularly overseas) will be substantial. £250.00 + p&p OR Post Free to any UK address for payment by Bank Transfer or Cheque.Cheapest on the Interent! I believe it is currently back in print at £345+ p&p 16/2/17 Many thanks to those of you who ordered from my latest catalogue (90) all orders have now been despatched.Still plenty of books left so feel free to browse http://www.nigelbirdbooks.co.uk/html/catalogue.html 13/2/17 Batch of 4 rather nice,

11/2/17 Amazon continually ask
me why I don't offer my stock to
overseas customers.Simple I told them- I
don't want to lose £s on the
shipping.Their allowance is totally
inadeqaute for 90% of books.Their UK
allowance of £2.80 is also below the
parcel rate of £2.85 (upto 2kgs) never
mind the cost of packaging.
It took them several
weeks to come back to me with this
gobbledygook.So add it to the book price
they say-that's what I do already.Buy
DIRECT from me by email or phoning taht
way you and I both save!!
Dear Seller,
Greetings from Amazon
Seller Support.
I am writing to you
regarding the issue raised by you about
the shipping credit for BMVD credits.
Kindly allow me to address your query.
As informed previously
by my colleague, unfortunately for
Books, Music ,Videos and DVDs Amazon
sets all the shipping prices to provide
a wholesome buying experience for
Sellers on this platform.
Please be informed that
Amazon sets the same shipping price for
Books, Music ,Videos and DVDs for all
the seller's on the Amazon platform. As
such, it is not possible for any seller
to change the shipping credits for items
falling under these categories. You may
however choose the carrier and method of
your choice.
However, I understand
that due to the shipping price you are
facing loss on your side in selling BMVD
products as the shipping companies
charge more than the shipping price
allowed on these products. You may
however include the loss faced due to
this in the item price of the products.
This will help you avoid the loss you
face due to the low shipping price
allowed to be charged.
I was also able to
understand that the previous associate
have put across your request to change
the shipping price for BMVD products as
a feature request to the Business Team.
However, let me inform you that the
decision on this regard by the Business
team will effect all the seller's on the
Amazon platform and it can't be made
without testing it first. Hence we will
not be able to provide you with any
specific date as to when the changes
might go through.
I hope I was able to
address your issue.
Please be confident
that Seller support is just a mail away
from you in case you find any
difficulty. Kindly do not hesitate to
write back to us if you need any
clarification or any kind of support.
Have a lovely day!
Thank you for selling
with Amazon.

4/2/17 My new catalogue (90) no on line........ http://www.nigelbirdbooks.co.uk/html/catalogue.html 2/2/17 My new catalogue (90) should be on the website this weekend. 1/2/17 TWO exciting new books coming soon. At last a modern book on Fairlies is on the way (the Abbott (D&C) book is nearly 50 years old!) this should be available within a month or so. And the long awaited book on.... The Snailbeach Railways (Shropshire) by Andy Cuckson I am told should be out about May. No further details yet but ADVANCE ORDERS TAKEN. I would expect both to be big sellers so don'y miss out. 30/1/17 Modern Locomotives
Illustrated magazine is building into a
tremendous reference source for all
things diesel and electric (Locomotives
and Units) The latest issue, number 223
(it started at 171, following on from
Locomotives Illustrated) is on the
rather dull Networker,Juniper and
Javelin Stock however all credit to
Colin Marsden and the publishers for
covering these workaday classes.As a
future reference they will be
invaluable.I have stock of this issue @
£4.50 plus p&p and other back
issues, please enquire.Many are out of
print and hard to find already.If you
have any for sale do let me know.
Issue 224 will be on
THE DELTICS and is sure to be a best
seller, due out late March, advance
orders taken.

SOLD SOLD SOLD 25/1/17 How NOT to sell railway
books-
1-Place full page
advert in two consecutive issues of well
known finescale railway modelling
magazine listing books for sale, listed
by publisher.
2-Don't have access to
them when you get enquiries about
edition and condition.
3-Invite "offers"
despite 2 above.
and I assume
4-Wonder why the
potential buyer (me) backs off.

23/1/17 Just a few years ago copies of Colonel Cobb's Atlas were like gold dust and fetching £200+ I notice there are 3 sets on Ebay now, all under £200 (2 under £150) and no bids so far.It is of course back in print (by his son) at £345!!Great tho it is, that is way too much money. 22/1/17 Just finished reading The Settle-Carlisle Railway 1850-1990 (The Buiding and Saving of a Great Railway A LIne of Critical Decisions) By Martin Pearson.A fascinating look at some of the political goings on leading upto the day in April 1989 when sense and reason kicked in and BR were refused permission to close the line. If you are interesting in
the politics behind railways or are
involved in a group trying to re-open a
line (or prevent closure of an existing
one) it is well worth a read.Well done to
The Friends of the S&C Line for all
their work way back in 1980's (which
continues to this day) that without doubt
helped save this wonderful line for us all
to enjoy.
Copies of this book can
be bought form The Friends on line shop (I
am not stocking it) here is the link. £13
well spent!

Good to see Heritage Railway magazine paying homage to Ian Allan Publishing, following their sale to Crecy Publishing.I suspect without Ian Allan's spotting books (which apparently in the 50's and 60's sold over a million abc's every year!)we would have very few railway enthusiasts, many of whom are the same people that today operate our heritage lines.I hope Crecy realise what a legacy they have acquired.The market for railway books is very different (and much smaller) in 2017 than it was upto say even10 years ago as the "old guard" pass away.Print runs are tiny nowadays (often 1200 or less) compared with the heyday of publishing when 5000+ was normal. 12/1/17 Surely Tom Rolt has to be one of the best
writers on all things transport related, be it
railways, canals,ghost stories, biographies
etc.Sadly he doesn't sell anywhere near as
well as he did 5+years ago. 30590. Rolt L T C: Victorian Engineering Allen Lane the Penguin Press 1970 1st 300pp Ills.hardback, fine in edge rubbed dustwrapper.Quite scarce. £30.00 22274.
