Our latest publication unique to Stainmore Railway Company is a children's book called 'Bambles the Platelayer's Puppy' which is written and illlustrated by two of our regular volunteers, Richie and Cath Gregory. It is a delightful tale based on life in the 1950's and the star is a black labrador puppy who comes to live with Sam Longworth and his family at Galesgap Station. It is aimed towards children aged 5 - 10 years, but is a wonderful tale for all ages. To order the book, please visit the SRC shop.
