    I know it's a long shot but does anyone have a copy of the SLS Journal for May 1963? There is a short article about the West Baldwin Reservoir Tramway (Isle of Man) on p133 and I would really appreciate a photo copy or scan by e-mail. Any help greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ray.

    Hi Ray,
    Well, I don't have a copy of the SLS Journal - but I do have the Journal of the Manx Museum for 1964 which reprinted that article in full. Tomorrow I might actually remember to bring it in so I can scan it!
    Cheers,
    Peter Hayward

    Thanks for the kind offer Peter but I went into the Manx Museum on Friday and obtained a digital copy of the article from the Journal. It was only then that I realized that it was simply a copy of the SLS article. Just need a copy of Manx Transport Review #42 (Spring/Summer 1984 p21-4) now! Once again, thanks for your help.
    Cheers,
    Ray.

    Perhaps this ought to be a PM, but if somebody could be kind enough to scan and/or e-mail a copy to me I'd be grateful. My wife and I had a great week on IoM last summer, and naturally I developed an interest in the railways there. I'd never heard of this railway, so would like to read about it. Please PM me if you can help; thanks,

    John
