Hugh Longworth’s DMU book

[amwells]

Hi,

There was a book produced in 2011 called BR First Generation DMUs. I don’t suppose anyone has a copy that they would be willing to sell me?

cheers,
Andrew

Have you tried likes of Martin Bott or Robert Humm?...Note Robert Humm in particular do not list all books on line....Oh did a check on old faithful ,Bookfinder search site and bar a "funny " listing none shown.

I have a copy but unfortunately it's not for sale! If I'd known it was going fetch £275 on e-bay, I would have bought 2 copies all them years ago!

I've just had a quick look at some of the other sites I use, eg Bill Hudson Books, MDS Books, Waterstones and no joy unfortunately.

It does have a "best offer" option

it does. I tried up to £45 which I thought might be reasonable given double the original cost, but that was auto rejected.

That is tough! I've had a hunt around to. I wonder if the author could help?

Thank you for all your help and for your searches! I have now sourced a copy at Robert Humm, after a lovely phone call. It should be in the post to me soon. Thank you again.

Hopefully for considerably less than £275! I actually used my copy yesterday to provide some information in the thread at https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/1st-gen-dmu’s.203611/

yes thank you for the suggestion. To be honest I wasn’t aware of either and so I contacted them on your suggestion. Thank you again.

Looking at price you have paid looks like it was a new copy?

It arrived today and I’d say so looking at the condition. Fantastic!
