You are probably one of three people. The first, the great majority, are asking themselves “what is the Kettle Valley Railway?” The second are those who have heard of it, but don’t really care that much about it. And then there is the third group, those guys and the occasional gal who are passionate about it.
It is to the third group that I offer this post. A new book has come out and I’m guessing it will not be available that much in the States. The book has only been out about three days now and at my LHS there is a feeding frenzy, but then Vancouver, British Columbia is the Kettle Valley Fan appreciation centre of the universe.
So here is the book: “Kettle Valley Railway Mile boards, A Historical Field Guide to the KVR” by Joe Smuin, published by North Kidonan Publications 2003
Here is a link to the LHS that is experiencing the feeding frenzy:
There is a new soft cover book out of that which you speak; and I have copied a reply from the same thread in the Atlas N forum here for your info:
B.t.w. - there’s a new softcover edition of the ‘Steel Rails and Iron men-a pictorial history of the KV’, which was first published as a hardcover version in 1990.It has a lot of photos, and the ISBN is
1-55285-452-2. Maybe I’m not hte only fan of the KV out here…
Best wishes,
Hans
