Your Bio

Welcome to the Brand New Embryonic Reincarnation of DAVE ROWLAND'S TRANSPORT GALLERY. The story so far: I was created for a laugh by Mr & Mrs G Rowland c.March 1949, and emerged alarmingly early at the Battle Hospital, Reading, on 13 November 1949 (subtle hint). Been a nuisance ever since. I've been stuck in train-free Gosport, Hants, almost continuously since 1959. Great liking for trains, old buses, ships, good music, women, drinking, and playing electric guitar. Allowed out occasionally to take photos, and get beer & ciggies. The silly hat is long gone, the silly grey beard has since arrived.
For the time being, at least, this site will replace my former Fotopic site ("The Tracks of My Years - Dave Rowland's Transport Gallery"), officially known as http://daverowland.fotopic.net/ and "THE FAMOUS IAN ALLAN ABC BOOKS" (* now here in it's entirety), also "THE PLATFORM 5 RAILWAY BOOKS" (ditto). I'll try to recreate everything in a similar (if not improved) form, but this may take quite some considerable time. As with all my projects, this will be an ongoing work in progress, and will no doubt change appearance drastically and often, as I go through the learning curve of what I can and can't do here. Please feel free to comment, either via the 'comments' facility at the bottom of each gallery, or the 'contact' link at the bottom of each page. Comments for individual photographs can be made (and/or viewed) by clicking on the 'show details' tab at the top right of viewed images. A previous/next photo facility is provided in the top middle position of opened images. Anyone can use my photos for whatever purpose, so long as you ASK ME FIRST, and credit me as the photographer (and copyright holder). So there. *WARNING - some images may not contain items of transport.

1943 ABC of British Locomotives, Combined Volume, limited edition. Published October 1943, 218pp 7/6, no code. This was a special edition produced by Ian Allan as presentation books for his friends, with a blue cover, and the pages have gold edges; it's thought that only eight copies were printed, it's ULTRA rare! NOTE: All Combined Volumes up until Summer 1957 were, to all intents & purposes, just the seperate books assembled as one, so each section had its original page numbering. ABC OF BRITISH LOCOMOTIVES in gold along length of spine, with IAN ALLAN in smaller letters. Gold text on front cover.

1947 6th edtn - The ABC of LNER Locomotives 6th & revised renumbering edition, published February 1947, 69pp 1/6, no code. Cover drawing by A N Wolstenholme of A4 Class Pacific 21 "Wild Swan". Again, two versions appeared, the only difference being the typeface used on the inside of the covers. Reissued in 1967 as part of the 'Transport of the Forties' series, and again (with another different cover) in 1969, this reprint contained an extra 32 photo pages; all reprints were a slightly larger format (see Section 012).

Nothing for ages, then three come all at once... Immediately after EWS 66063 has passed, and amidst much clag, D1015 "Western Champion" & 40145 hurtle through Newton Abbot at 15.52 with 1Z52, the Penzance-Crewe return working of 'The East Lancashire Champion' 2-day railtour; the word was that 40145 would be leading, but again, I was thwarted in getting a decent shot of the 40. 16th May 2010.

Spring 1949 P3 - British Railways Locomotives - London Midland & Scottish Regions, published September 1948, 68pp 2/-, code: 44/186/500/948. Reprinted in September 1948 (code: 44/219/200/1048), and January 1949 (code: 44/219/30/149). Cover drawing by A N Wolstenholme of 'Royal Scot' Class 4-6-0 46100 "Royal Scot" (before being fitted with smoke deflectors). The LMR edition was the very first of the ABCs to be produced after nationalization, and as well as ex-LMS locos, included preserved/stored LMS locos, ex-LMS electric multiple units, and shedcodes for LM & relevant ScR depots, although no sub-sheds were listed.

1954 British Cars, 9th edition, published 1954, 73pp 2/-, no code. This variant has "1954 EDITION" at the bottom of the front cover, there are different photos inside, and it has been printed on fine art paper, therefore a rather different book than that in the previous photo - and EXTREMELY rare!

SWT 444 002, Eastleigh, 16th January 2012.

1946 8th edtn - Southern Locomotives 7th edition (2nd) second, published July 1946, inside front cover & frontispiece. This photo really emphasizes just how haphazard and chaotic was the method of numbering the editions; the frontispiece (right) is the same as the previous edition, listing it as the 7th edition (second series), but dated July 1946, the list on the left is completely at odds with this, stating that this is the 9th edition of APRIL 1946. Obviously then, it must be the 8th edition..... (?). Bizarre.

1961 British Railways Headcodes, 1st edition, by M R Bailey, published June 1961, 72pp 2/6, code: 1103/696/100/661. Cover has photo of 31873 & DEMU. Reissued in 1999 (see Section 012).

Summer 1958 Locoshed Book, published May 1958, 96pp 2/6, no code; two reprints, both July 1958, 1st has no code, 2nd reprint coded 746/485/350/1257 (see following two photos). No photos inside. Drawing (uncredited) of loco motion on cover.

1981 British Rail Locoshed Directory, published March 1981, 47pp 50p, ISBN 0-7110-1143-5, code: ABX/0381. Cover photo of four class 47 locos at OC; price now 50p.

Summer 1957 P3 - British Railways Locomotives - London Midland & Scottish Region, published April 1957, 64pp 2/6, code: 596/C/3/900/457. Cover drawing by A N Wolstenholme of 'Royal Scot' Class 4-6-0 46112 "Sherwood Forester".

Winter 1957 P2 - British Railways Locomotives - Southern Region + diesel & electric, published September 1957, 64pp 2/6, code: 710/2/457/150/957. A N Wolstenholme drawing of U Class 2-6-0 31636 on the cover.

Spring 1955 P2 - British Railways Locomotives - Southern Region + diesel & electric, published October 1954, 68pp 2/-, code: 412/C/1501054. This Spring 1955 batch of books, including the Combined Volume, were in actual fact the Winter 1954 editions, but for some reason Ian Allan decided differently, thus there were three lots of books appearing in 1955: Spring, Summer & Winter. All the Spring editions carry a drawing by A N Wolstenholme of the front end of BR Standard Class 8P Pacific 71000 "Duke of Gloucester". Although other 1955 editions included details of the 15 proposed 'Clans', BR standard classes weren't included in the SR books until 1957, although a list of SR electric multiple units was included, as was a list of SR-allocated Pullman cars.

Winter 1952 P1 - British Railways Locomotives - Western Region, published August 1952, 57pp 2/-, no code. The same cover drawing by A N Wolstenholme of BR Standard Class 4MT 2-6-4T 80025 appeared on all Winter 1952 editions including the combined volume.

1943 1st edtn - Southern Locomotives, published December 1942, 21pp 1/-, no photos, no code. This was the very first ABC produced by Ian Allan. This edition was reissued in 1982 (see Section 012).

1945 3rd edtn - The ABC of LMS Locomotives, compiled by Ian Allan & A B MacLeod, published December 1944, 56pp 2/-, no code. Owing to lack of quality card/paper, one lot of covers of this edition was produced on cream paper, the other on yellow; although the shade of red varies greatly, they're very similar, presumably one is effectively the 4th edition, but it's not apparent which is which. Again, a Baldwin drawing of a streamlined 'Coronation' Class Pacific is on the cover, this example of which is very dark red.

1946 8th edtn - The ABC of GWR Locomotives, published December 1946, 48pp 1/6, no code. The cover drawing, of 'Castle' Class 4-6-0 5077 "Fairey Battle", appears to be signed W G Eaton.

1943 2nd edtn - ABC of GWR Locomotives, published October 1943, 31pp 1/6, no code. A list of locomotive running sheds with codes appeared in this edition. Some photos in this edition, with a cover drawing of a 'King' Class 4-6-0 by Baldwin. This 2nd edition was reissued in 1982 and reprinted again in 1983 (see Section 012).

The A N Wolstenholme drawing of Crosti-boilered BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 92021 is, for the first time, printed on a laminated cover, no dust sheet was supplied. This is the only Locomotive Combined Volume, and indeed, the only post-nationalization railway ABC with the cover price in words, ie: Ten shillings and sixpence, as opposed to 10/6. Very strange; some of the pre-nationalization ABCs carried the price in words.

Oddly, a Southern Region edition wasn't produced at this time, and it's highly likely that this would have been the cover if it had been, although no doubt in green. This one edition read like a Locoshed book, with all loco details at the start of each regional section. Reissued in 2004 with a different laminated cover (see Section 012).
