The Rural Transport Problem
Originally published in 1963, this book was the first to survey the rural transport problem as a whole, and it includes the results of extensive research in an important but until then neglected field. The issues of increased car ownership and the reduction of train and bus services and the social impact of this is discussed, as well the question of subsidies in the UK as a whole. Three area specific studies deal with the Lake District, Northumberland and Devon.
The Flying Scotsman in the United States
In 1970 two unlikely characters were part of Flying Scotsman's tour of America and Canada. Describing their adventure of a lifetime are Richard Hinchcliffe, who was the thirteen-year-old son of tour manager George Hinchcliffe, and Bill Wagner, at that time a twenty-one-year-old train-chasing college student from Illinois. Their intense experience from the summer of 1970 is still very much part of their lives. Now, over fifty years later, they come together again using Wagner's magnificent photographs and Hinchcliffe's inside story to bring you their extraordinary record of how the world's most famous steam locomotive captured American hearts. This is the untold story of Flying Scotsman's 1970 tour of America from Texas to Wisconsin and into Canada. It hauled a trade mission along the eastern seaboard in 1969 - good for British business, but bad for the finances of the owner Alan Pegler. In 1970 the train set off again without the trade mission, calling at smaller venues, travelling on the cheapest tracks and meeting thousands of people along the way.

A Year in Motion
On the heels of a catastrophic eye injury, multiple eye surgeries, and recovery over several years, on a dark night on the Blue Ridge Parkway, finally back in the saddle of his motorcycle, the author's return to riding grinds to a crashing halt. In an instant, there's a deer in his windscreen. Everything goes black then he wakes up on the pavement. Wrist surgery is followed by more recovery...then another setback. On the eve of his return to riding, the sight in the good remaining eye darkens at the edges-a detached retina. The next day he is in surgery again...and recovery...again. In his mid-sixties, the time left to ride to all the places he'd dreamed about now seemed limited, but he vows to himself he's not done yet. By October of 2021, doctors say he can ride again. Between then and the following October, 24,000 miles roll under the wheels of the new Tiger he'd bought to replace his wrecked Bonneville as he explores the United States. These are the stories of that year in motion.

Burlington Northern: The Final Years
The 1970 merger of Northern Pacific; Great Northern; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; and Spokane, Portland & Seattle created a new super railroad spanning the northern and central United States over a 25,000-mile network. For twenty-five years, BN was one of United States' premier railroads. In its first decade BN had its hands full, paring down duplicate lines and forming a cohesive system from all the predecessor railroads, as well as investing in the explosive growth of Powder River Basin coal shipments. By the early 1980s though, BN had clearly become its own railroad, decked out in uniform Cascade green and black paint. The BN of the 1990s experienced continued growth in intermodal, grain and coal traffic, along with adding more hues to the company colours. With wonderful original photographs, Mike Danneman takes a look at the last dozen years of the Burlington Northern before the merger with Santa Fe to form BNSF in 1995.

Botts Goes to War
The world's favorite tractor salesman calls it quits and joins the army in the fifth installment of the Alexander Botts series, Botts Goes to War. In this volume of short stories written in the 1940s and set during WWII, farm machines have proven themselves indispensable to the war effort, and who better to equip war-torn Europe than Alexander Botts? Throughout the book, Botts encounters shortages of necessary materials, including rubber tires, cable, structural steel, and even civilian housing. Botts responds to each situation with characteristically unique and ill-advised approaches, such as sinking a tractor not once but twice to hide it from competitors or using priceless one-hundred-year old apple liqueur as fuel. Whether he finds success or failure so devastating that he is shipped off to another command, he survived to take on another assignment.Alexander Botts was created in 1927 by author William Hazlett Upson. The stories are based on Upson's work as a service mechanic and troubleshooter for the Caterpillar Tractor Company. For almost half a century, Botts was beloved by The Saturday Evening Post readers in more than 100 short stories. This book features two stories that did not originally appear in The Post. The series will be the first to present the collection in its entirety along with the original illustrations.
The Last Steam Railways
A spectacular, historical perspective and photographic gallery of the last working steam railways in China-the world's largest major concentration of steam locomotives in the 21st century. In the last half of the 1900s, China built ten thousand coal-burning steam locomotives across the country. These powerful engines ran in a variety of settings, from an open cast coal mine near the Siberian border to the semi-tropical remote hills of Sichuan, powering passenger trains that stretched one thousand kilometres across Inner Mongolia and pulling the local trains on forestry railways in the countryside of northern China. Then, in 2001, Chinese Railways retired almost all its steam locomotives. Nonetheless, some regional, local and industrial operations continued using steam for another decade or more. The photographs and photo essays in this book are a result of visits to dozens of these often-remote railways where steam was still being used. They highlight the skills of workers as they overhauled and maintained the locomotives and reflect on the lives of the people who depended upon them in a rapidly changing world. The Last Steam Railways: Volume One chronicles the last two decades of China's fascinating and picturesque steam railways in a visually dramatic and authoritative presentation. This is the first of three volumes that take the story of the last steam railways across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. With over five hundred original colour photographs, graphics, maps and tables, this is a spectacular addition to any history collection.

ROYAL ENFIELD 750cc INTERCEPTOR 1962 to 1970 WORKSHOP MANUALS & PARTS MANUALS COMPILATION - ALL MODELS
296 pages and more than 200 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is possibly the most comprehensive publication ever produced for the 1962 through 1970 Royal Enfield 750cc Interceptor.A compilation of five factory publications, it includes the original MK1 or Series I workshop manual for the 1962 to 1966 models and the later workshop manual for the 1968 to 1970 MK2 or Series II. In addition, it also includes the three illustrated factory 'Spare & Replacement Parts' manuals: The difficult to find 1962-66 MK1, the 1967-68 MK1A and the 1969-70 MK2 models which also includes the often missing 1970 Supplement. While Royal Enfield never issued a workshop manual that was specific to the MK1A model, the later MK2 manual, when used in conjunction with the MK1A parts manual, it will provide adequate maintenance and repair information. This manual covers the following models: 750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual covers both the early and late MK1 models and both the UK and the USA variants.750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1A (Parts Manual)750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK2 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual also includes data that is specific to the 1962 to 1968 models.PRODUCTION DETAILS: The 750cc UK Interceptor MK1 (or Series I) model was produced from September 1962 through December 1965. The 1964 line-up was expanded to include a 'Standard' 6 volt model (September '63 to August '64) plus a 'De-Luxe' model with 12 volt electrics. Then in January 1966, Interceptor production was temporarily suspended for the UK market until September 1967. However, when UK production resumed, the 750cc Interceptor MK1A (now fitted with coil ignition and Amal Concentric carburetors) was released (October '67 to September '68). The final variant, the MK2 (or Series II) was produced from October 1968 to July 1970. However, as both the 1969-70 'Clymer Indian' Enfield and the 1970-72 'Rickman Enfield' utilized the MK2 engine, this manual will also be of use to owners of those rare models. Due to a number of different reasons, there is a great deal of confusion surrounding production details and the various differences between the UK and USA Interceptor models. Firstly, it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a pattern and, at times, was somewhat random. Adding to this confusion is that during the 1966-1967 factory shut-down of UK Interceptor production, various models were still being built for export to the USA. Then, beginning in March 1967, the company went through a number of significant changes in manufacturing location, management, ownership rights and mergers. However, it is known that in 1964, the USA Interceptor became the TT model. The 'Custom' model was added in 1965 and the GT in 1966. Consequently, it is very likely that the Interceptor models produced for the USA during the 1966-1967 UK market shut-down included the 'Custom' and the TT and GT variants. There were two MK1A models produced for the USA market, the TT7 (Scrambler) and the GP7 (Road Racer). The final UK/USA model, the MK2, was introduced for 1968 and remained in production through mid-1970. The cover image is a 1970 MK2 and the previous optional air cleaner, oil cooler, skid plate and seat rail were all fitted as standard equipment, however, the larger fuel tank was still an option. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the UK and the USA models, the reader is encouraged to review all three parts manuals and both workshop manuals prior to performing any adjustments or repairs. It should be noted that the MK2 workshop manual contains information that is also specific to the earlier models, including the MK1.
Freestone and Webb, the Story of a British Coachbuilder
Freestone & Webb was a great name in British coachbuilding for some 35 years, but as demand for coachbuilt car bodies dried up in the 1950s, the company became the first of the Big Five remaining specialists to close down. They had started in the early 1920s, as the motoring scene was settling down after the upheaval of the First World War. Early devotees of lightweight Weymann construction, they soon earned the approval of the nearby Bentley company because their bodies did not unduly hinder the performance of these great sporting chassis. Before long, Rolls-Royce models were also being provided with stylish and well-made Freestone & Webb coachwork, and so were many leading foreign chassis, such as Mercedes-Benz and Packard. Although the partnership of Messrs Freestone and Webb was dissolved before the 1930s had got under way, the company survived the bleak years at the start of the decade and continued to build both arrestingly beautiful bespoke bodies and distinctive coachwork in small-volume batches. Most notable in this period was their razor-edge style, which was rapidly copied by many other coachbuilders and would remain influential into the early 1950s. Like others, the company struggled to get back into the game after an enforced layoff during the Second World War. But with the aid of good designs and fine workmanship, they survived into the 1950s with their reputation intact. Sadly, their continued survival could only be a matter of time, and Arthur Webb was already looking to sell the company when he died in 1954. Freestone & Webb continued gamely for four more years, experimenting with new designs and going out in a blaze of glory with their extravagant Honeymoon Express for a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. This is the story of a great British coachbuilder, told with the aid of meticulous research and with great affection for the grandeur and style that its products still represent.

Max Hoffman
This fascinating story charts the career of Max Hoffman, the US car dealer who represented Jaguar, Porsche, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Fiat, Lancia, BMW, and many other European car brands during the decades following WWII. He pushed for distinguished now-classics like the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, Porsche Speedster, BMW 507, and Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. Hoffman built a reputation as an effective middleman, but as the car companies he represented became more successful under his watch, the less they needed their go-between. When it was inevitably time to say goodbye to Maxie, he showed his teeth with everything from lawsuits against his suppliers, to threatening executives with a mob hit.However, Hoffman also had a very good reason to be defensive. He understood the American market, and he pushed manufacturers specifically for cars that would strike a chord and make everybody involved richer. Sometimes the hero, sometimes the villain, but more often than not, Max Hoffman was the unseen puppet master behind some of today's best classics.

BOOK OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF LUCAS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR 1950’s-1970’s BRITISH MOTORCYCLES (Includes 1960-1977 Parts Catalogs)
Please note that many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and published complete with greasy pages and thumbprints included. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. Conversely, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.198 pages with more than 150 illustrations charts and diagrams, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. A previously unpublished manual from the Floyd Clymer archives. This manual is a compilation of original factory publications that include the working principals, maintenance, repair, trouble-shooting and testing of Lucas electronic equipment as utilized by the major British motorcycle manufacturers including: A.J.S., B.S.A., Matchless, Norton, Royal Enfield and Triumph. The factory 'repair and service' publications included are as follows: Maintenance instructions for "Electric Lighting and Ignition equipment" and "Alternating Current Equipment" both of which are applicable to the 1950's (and earlier *) through 1960's machines, plus the "Motor Cycle Service Manual" for the 1970's and later models. The compilation of these three publications basically covers machines constructed from the early 50's up to the unfortunate demise of the British motorcycle industry in the late 70's. Component maintenance, repair and test data for both 6 volt, and 12 volt, singles, twins and triple cylinder machines are covered and include: Dynamo, Magneto (both face cam and ring cam) Distributor, Coil, Contact Breaker, Battery, Head Lamp, Tail Lamp, Horn, Alternator, Rectifier, Starter Motor, etc. There are also 10 pages of typical wiring diagrams. In addition, there are two motorcycle "Electric and Suspension Parts" catalogs included that cover 1960 through 1977 Lucas equipped motorcycles. While their primary intention was to provide appropriate Lucas part numbers by motorcycle manufacturer and model, they are of considerable importance during any restoration project, as they serve as a comprehensive parts interchange reference by comparing component part numbers utilized by the various motorcycle manufacturers. As can be expected from any factory publication, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams making this compilation an invaluable resource for owners and restorers of Lucas equipped motorcycles and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Lucas equipped British motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. * Owners of earlier models are directed to our publication "The Book of 1930's British Motorcycle Carburetters and Electrical Components" ISBN 9781588501837
Motorcycle Guys
This book is about a specific place, but the story is universal. The lessons to be learned could apply to any city in America. Motorcycles were indicative of the technology and manufacturing revolution taking place which enabled the machine's own development. The speed with which improvements came and the enormous advances made in a short period of time, can only be compared to that of the computer revolution a century later. The connections between motorcycles, people, and the industrial and economic evolution of the 20th century holds lessons worth learning regardless of one's interest in motorcycles.This little book will acquaint the reader to people and events which may not be familiar. As well as mentioning some that might be surprisingly familiar. With over 190 illustrations, most from private collections, and many never seen publicly, there is sure to be something of interest. There is much more to be told. Much more to be learned. Much, much more that will never be known. This is a peek behind the curtain before what's still there disappears forever.
