A History of the LMS London, Midland and Scottish Railway, Volume 1: The First Years 1923-1930
A History of the LMS London, Midland and Scottish Railway, Volume 2: The Record-breaking Thirties, 1931-1939
A History of the LMS London, Midland and Scottish Railway, Volume 3: The War Years and Nationalisation, 1939-48
All three seem to be available quite inexpensively on Amazon UK
Right thanks for that maybe next year when my next paycheck comes in!
