Excerpt from A History of Railway Letter Stamps: Describing All Varieties Issued by the Railway Companies of Great Britain and Ireland Under the Authority of the Postmaster-General Although the Railway Letter Post was established as long ago as February, 1891, it is only within the last three or four years that the stamps issued in connection with it have attained any considerable degree of prominence in the world of Philately. Their long neglect is undoubtedly attributable to ignorance, for the stamps are among the most interesting yet issued. The many minor variations in the issues of the more important Railway Companies appeal especially to the specialist collector, who cannot fail to find great pleasure in classifying and arranging the numerous printings, as distinguished by difference in design, colour, paper, perforation or other detail. It was not until 1897 that any serious attempt was made by collectors to ascertain how many varieties of Railway Letter Stamps existed. In November of that year, Mr. C. F. Dendy Marshall read a paper on the subject before the London Philatelic Society, giving, as far as was then known, a list of all Companies issuing these stamps, and this initial effort soon led to other enquiries being made. It was then found that not only did the issues of different Companies vary, but also that those of the same Company often presented variations in colour, perforation, or other detail. The author was one of the first to attempt a complete collection of these different printings, but considerable difficulty was experienced in arranging them, and this difficulty - shared by other collectors - has continued down to the present day. It is with the object of assisting collectors to correctly classify their specimens that the compilation of this work has been undertaken. Through the courtesy of the Railway Companies, the author has in almost every case been furnished with complete lists of the printings made, showing dates of delivery and issue and quantities printed, and these have greatly facilitated classification of the numerous varieties, although, where control numbers are absent, the identification and description of each printing has often proved a very difficult matter.

This, the first of four books, looks at the treatment of varying aspects of public transport with the aid of postage stamps, either issued by the postal authorities of most of the worlds nations, or some of the railway companies themselves, especially heritage operators.It has long intrigued the author as to why narrow gauge systems throughout the world have demanded a far greater attention from the public and stamp producers than railway subjects from the standard gauge lines, which make up the vast majority of the western worlds major railway systems. The conclusion he has reached is that in most cases they are considered cute a truly abominable term, which is (thankfully) gradually fading from our vocabulary, but just how the author felt on first seeing engines of the Talyllyn Railway, in mid-Wales, from the top of the station approach at Tywyns Wharf Station: tiny little kettles in sparkling, rich green and lots of brass.The Talyllyn has the double honor of being the worlds first railway to be taken-over and operated by a preservation society in 1951, and also the first railway in the modern era to issue its own Railway Letter Service stamps, a practice that can be traced back to the very earliest of times, which allowed people in outlying areas to send letters by the railways to the nearest post office for onward transport. The Talyllyns first stamps were issued in 1957, and today the lucky collector can demand a substantial premium on the paltry issue value.From whatever origin or country, there is a huge variety of stamps covering narrow gauge railways, and usually they are attractive miniature works of art that make them very collectable. The author has not set out to cover every country or issue in these books, but to present a wide selection of those stamps that are note-worthy.

For this second book in the Transport Philately series on public transport issues featured on postage stamps, once again the author will combine two of his lifelong hobbies as he looks at railways around the world on standard gauge tracks that encompasses the majority of the western worlds major railway arteries. The book will also illustrate railways on other, similar gauges of track where they constitute a country's major arteries, but it is not an exhaustive survey encompassing every country and every issue for that one needs to refer to major catalog issues by such well-known authorities as Stanley Gibbons Plc.There have been many and varied reasons why postal authorities have issued stamps featuring railway subjects, varying from major anniversaries to national pride, the latter often from the former Eastern-bloc countries but that is not by all means.The Royal Mail in the UK has certainly not ignored railways, especially in later years, and the author will visit probably more of his native country's stamps than most other countries', but he's biased.The author often looks in his albums to try to understand why a particular country will sometimes be represented by bulging sections, while others are represented by but one or two stamps. And so, the book follows the story around the world in roughly an eastern journey, learning about some of the national histories on the way and admiring the attentions of some extremely accomplished artists that mean philatelists and rail-lovers alike can enjoy many beautiful miniature works of art.
