The Science Museum library has two copies available
http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/library/visitor.asp

Anyone is allowed to go in (it's free but you need to take some ID with
you). It's near South Kensington tube.
Walk up Exhibition road or the subway from the tube. Turn left just past
the Science museum. Follow the footpath in a straight line and it takes you
to the joint Imperial College / Science museum library.

The transport books are on level three near the windows.

For those interested I have put some pictures of the 1938 stock at
Amersham when it called as part of the Uxbridge 100 tour. See

http://www.metroland.nildram.co.uk/a...ro/metmisc.htm


Also on the page (top photo) is a picture I have been sent of Amersham
in 1961. Can anyone confirm what type of train is in the picture? Am I
right in assuming it was T stock?

Many thanks

Matthew

Yes, it's T stock.

The book Steam to Silver, An illustrated history of London Transport
Surface
Railway Rolling Stock by J Graeme Bruce, if you can get hold of a copy,
has
a good description of T stock and its forerunner, MW stock.

Now, had they been going to have *that* train on today, I'd have gone!
I don't know what it is, I'm afraid - but I was near Amersham earlier
today and could possibly have gone on the tour, but am not enough
interested in 1938 stock to do so.

Thank you for posting the photographs.

Excellent.

Is it just me, or does the 1938 stock look surprisingly not
old-fashioned?

It my be the 1930s styling, or the fact that underground trains just
look better red, but it did not look out of place in 2004

From the outside it doesn't look too old but step inside and its
definately a trip back in time. And none the worse for it either IMO.
The interior designers of the new tube stocks could have learnt a
thing or to about subtlety from these old trains.

T stock was a favourite of mine and I have collected quite a few photos
(many from the Models of Hull Collection) including scans from magazines
such as Railway Bylines. Unfortunately I still haven't discovered how to use
my Wanadoo webspace so can't put them on show but if anybody is sufficiently
interested I'll gladly send copies.
