I gathered the prime reason for the site was to promote books about the railways.There were always links at the bottom of the pages to link you into purchases etc.
I found the site very interesting.
For instance, in the steam section [or diesel, electric] you could type in any BR loco number and it would give you pretty much the life history of the loco in question.When/where made,number of loco's made, by whom, first shed allocation, last shed allocation, date withdrawn, date disposed of and who disposed of the loco.
I hope the site comes back on line soon.
Cheers.
All quiet on the Western Front, thankfully.
