Dear Mr Bott,
I'd be fascinated and delighted to help with your Southern Ry trainbook transcription project.
I've been privileged to see some of the Rutland trainbooks in Armand Premo's collection, and gosh what treasures these things are. I wish someone would come across some SAL books from the 40s/50s.
Sincerely,
Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.
