Light Railways No.5 to 8 Winter 1961 to Autumn 1962 – pdf download

Issue No.5 was known as The Shenley Valley Railway Quarterly Review but was published by the Victorian Light Railway Research Society. From issue No.6 the title was Victorian Light Railway Research Society Quarterly Review. Issues Nos 5 and 6 were typed (twice) with several carbon copies on thin paper, and the quality was terrible! Issue No.7 was mostly printed on a Fordigraph spirit duplicator, and issue No.8 was printed on a flat bed duplicator. The four issues total 28 foolscap (13 x 8 inch) pages.
