Bridgestone Motorcycles 350gtr & 350gto Technical Handbook, Tuning for Competition and Parts Catalogues
178 pages, 203 illustrations, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. A previously unpublished manual from the Floyd Clymer archives. This manual is a compilation of extremely scarce and difficult-to-find original factory publications for the Bridgestone 350GTR and 350GTO series of motorcycles. The factory publications included are: The 350GTR 'Technical Handbook' (Workshop Manual) publication number T7350E. The 350GTR 'Parts Catalogue' publication number P7350WO. The 350GTO 'Parts Catalogue' publication number P9350GTOWO, plus the appropriate pages from 'Tuning Up for Competition' publication number L8TUP. During the time they were in production, Bridgestone (Motorcycles) published 'Technical Handbooks' or, more appropriately, 'Workshop Manuals' for their various models. These factory issued workshop manuals were produced in small quantities and are scarce and difficult to find in today's market. In addition, the factory also published 'Parts Catalogues' which included exploded parts diagrams that are a useful tool for restoration work or even general maintenance tasks. These factory 'Parts Catalogues' were also re-printed by Rockford Motors but, unfortunately, many of the diagrams were reduced in size (some to less than a quarter page) making the details difficult to see. This manual also includes a re-print of the original factory 'Bridgestone350 GTR & 350GTO Parts Catalogues' with full page exploded parts diagrams. Rockford Motors also published repair 'manuals' but, unfortunately, the quality of the images were degraded in the re-print process (that was available at that time) and some of them are so poor that they are of little use. By utilizing both the original factory 'Technical Handbook' and 'Parts Catalogues' in the production of this combined manual, we have hopefully provided the reader with quality enhanced images that are far superior to those in the earlier Rockford reprints. As can be expected from a factory publication, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing or even a complete mechanical renovation making it an invaluable resource for collectors of these iconic motorcycles and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Bridgestone 350GTR & 350GTO owners and enthusiasts worldwide.
Smoky Mountain Railways
The Great Smoky Mountains were a remote and inaccessible place with no major highways or railroads until well after the Civil War. Using first enslaved and later convict labor, the Western North Carolina Railroad and Murphy Branch connected the mountains with the remainder ofthe state by 1891. The railroad brought commerce and tourism, and tourists and rail buffs continue to come to Bryson City to experience travel by steam train on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. The history of this line is a story like no other. It is a tale filled with tragedy, heroism, brains, blood, sweat, tears, nitroglycerin and humor. Local authors Jacob Morgan Plott and Bob Plott tell the story of a line that refused to die.
Central Illinois Train Depots
From the mid-1800s to the early 1960s, the most integral place for Central Illinois communities was the train depot. These buildings, home to wooden benches, telegraph equipment, and old train schedules hanging on the wall, were the gateway to the rest of the world. One could catch a train to almost anywhere in the United States back in the day, but during the postwar years of America, the railroad depot faded into history. Decreased train ridership due to the increasing popularity of air travel and automobiles led to thousands of these once-important buildings closing and later being burned or torn down. From larger union depots in cities like Bloomington and Peoria to smaller isolated stops, Central Illinois Train Depots tells the story of buildings that once played vital roles in the development of communities throughout Central Illinois.

Obsessions Die Hard
The Adventure of a Lifetime Obsessions Die Hard is the story of Ed Culberson's determination to fulfill his dream. As a teenager he was fascinated with the Pan-American Highway System, which runs the length of North and South America. In his early forties, he acquired another passion--motorcycling. It was only natural that he would merge the two. Culberson, then a retired U.S. Army officer, wanted to ride his motorcycle along the Pan-American Highway's entire route between Alaska and Argentina. However, in the Dari矇n region of eastern Panama and western Colombia the road is broken by an 80-mile gap filled with jungles, rain forests, rivers, and swamps, forcing travelers to detour around it by boat or plane. The area is so inhospitable and unexplored that a myth about its impenetrability has evolved over the centuries, and a curse aimed at Dari矇n trespassers shrouds the region. But the Dari矇n Gap, known as el tap籀n del Dari矇n--the Stopper--didn't dim Culberson's dream. It became his obsession. In the face of staggering obstacles, Culberson suffers failure before meeting success, encountering killer bees, arrest by a corrupt law officer, cycling injuries, and back-breaking labor to get himself and "Amigo," his motorcycle, through the torturous jungles and swamps. He also encounters strangers who become friends, including Cuna Indians who guide him and share his triumphs. A story of one man's struggle with his own obsession, this is an amazing tale of human endurance and perseverance. All royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to ALS of Texas.
A Very Public Solution
The first serious work on public transport planning ever published in AustraliaWhy is public transport so poor in Australian cities? Why can't it be more like the fast, convenient systems in Europe?Unlike Europeans, most urban Australians live on far-flung suburban blocks rather than in high-density apartments. Most urban travel is to widespread suburban locations rather than to the city centre. It is often argued that fast, efficient public transport is impossible in our 'dispersed' cities.In A Very Public Solution, Paul Mees compares Melbourne's public transport system with the highly successful system in Toronto; a 'dispersed' city very like Melbourne with its suburban sprawl, and sheds new light on a century-old debate.This debate is particularly important now, as 'economic rationalists' move to privatise public transport in Australian cities. We can have European-style public transport, Mees argues, if our different forms of public transport stop competing with each other and start competing with the car.A Very Public Solution is the first serious work on public transport planning ever published in Australia. It is essential reading for everyone concerned with urban sustainability and our growing traffic problems.

Royal Enfield Bullet
Despite being one of the most successful motorcycles of all time, the Royal Enfield Bullet has had a very chequered history. Its story begins in the 1930s and by the 1950s it was at the height of its popularity in post-War Britain. Then it became a stalwart of the Indian Army and manufacture transitioned from Britain to India. The near-collapse of the Royal Enfield marque in the 1990s almost meant the end of this classic motorbike, but with the involvement of the Eicher Group from 2001 onwards, the updated Bullet generated new interest and renewed its original commercial success, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes. With more than 200 photographs, this book describes the origins of the Royal Enfield company and the pre-war Bullets from 1932 and the relaunch of the Bullet in 1949 with its radical swinging-arm frame. Derivative models such as the 350 and 500, as well as those for competition and road are covered as well as specials such as diesels, V-twins, Egli and big-bore Bullets. The development story behind the lean-burn, electric-start and 5-speed updates is discussed as well as the UCE - the all-new Bullet from 2008 and the Classic and its design story. Finally, the evolution beyond the Bullet is covered which includes the Continental GT and Himalayan 650 twins.

Chevy Nova 1968-1974
The photos in this edition are black and white. Learn how to build a killer 1968-1974 Chevy Nova for the street or strip from veteran author and Chevy expert Wayne Scraba.Chevy Nova 1968-1974: How to Build and Modify includes detailed information on driveline upgrades, rear suspension options for the ultimate hook, front-end suspension and chassis components for good handling and weight transfer, excellent brake upgrades, engine swap options, cooling system upgrades, and more.There was a time when the Chevrolet Nova was considered a budget option, a model engineered primarily for the price-conscious customer. Certainly, performance models were already in Chevrolet's fold. With the Camaro, the Corvette, and the Chevelle leading the way, why would Chevy need another performance model? Well, savvy Chevy customers knew that you could get a really tricked-out Nova right from the factory with SS packages and big-block 396 engines along with performance transmissions and gearing for a fair amount less than an equally equipped Camaro. As a bonus, Novas were lighter weight too. It was the performance bargain of the Chevy lineup.Fast forward to today. The first-generation Camaros cost a small fortune, and while Novas have held their value quite well, they are still a performance bargain compared to the other Chevy performance models of the era. Not only are they more affordable than Camaros, but you can do a whole lot to make them really fast. Focusing on quarter-mile performance, Wayne expertly covers all of your options for a strong-running street Nova, a street-strip combo package, or all-out drag racing options. If you want to build your Nova into a quarter-mile warrior, this book is an essential tool for success.

Slow to start on sales, Ford's full-size production grew year after year, peaking with 648,010 units produced in 1963. It was an all-time best for the Galaxie line and its sister nameplates. Eight appearance and performance offerings were applied to the full-size Ford line including the Fairlane, Galaxie, Ranch Wagon, Country Sedan, Country Squire, Courier, 300, and Custom, which made each car unique.The Galaxie and its full-size stablemates continue to be a strong force at car shows and in the marketplace; they create an even deeper following for these cars. Adding a detailed restoration book to the full-size restorer's arsenal will surely aid in bringing more of these Fords back to life and back on the road.

The Fifteen Guinea Special
The Fifteen Guinea Special was the last steam-hauled British Rail passenger service on 11 August 1968. A day later, the once living and breathing steam locomotives fell silent, some never to run again. Ian Hardman begins with an in-depth look into the Fifteen Guinea Special with first-hand accounts and explores how the train has developed to become a cornerstone of British history. Barry Scrapyard, Dai Woodham and the world-famous Flying Scotsman then played a huge part in inspiring the resurrection of steam and the saving of hundreds of locomotives from certain demise. Fifty years on, steam is alive and well and has re-kindled a flame in the hearts of the British public. This book takes a step-by-step journey into the twenty-first century following the highs and lows of the business of steam-hauled mainline charters, bringing the story fully up to date.
The Power of the Duchesses
Derived from the earlier Stanier 'Princess Royal' Pacific design of 1933-5, the Stanier 'Duchesses' were the epitome of LMS express passenger locomotive design. Originally designated the 'Coronation' class, they first appeared from Crewe works in 1937 and commenced running on the high-speed 'Coronation Scot' services. The first examples were streamlined, but in 1938 a non-streamlined version was also built. Double chimneys were fitted from 1939, and retrospectively to those with single chinmeys. Of the 38 locomotives built between 1937 and 1948 (when the final Ivatt version appeared) 24 were streamliners. After the war the streamlining was removed and all the classes were fitted with smoke deflectors. Withdrawal of the class, which were the LMS answer to the celebrated LNER Gresley A4 class Pacifics, commenced in 1962 with the last examples being withdrawn in September 1964.

American Cars, 1946-1952Every Model, Year by Year
From the resumption of automobile production at the close of World War II through the 1950s, the American auto industry would see the births and deaths of several manufacturers, great technological advances, and an era of dramatic styling as a prospering nation asserted its growing mobility. Cars of this period are among the most iconic vehicles ever built in the United States: the 1949 Ford and the remarkable Studebaker designs of 1950 and many others. This comprehensive reference book details every model from each of the major manufacturers (including independents such as Kaiser-Frazer and Crosley but excluding very low-volume marques such as Tucker) from model years 1946 through 1952. Year by year, it provides an overview of the industry and market, followed by an individual report on each company: its main news for the year (introductions or cancellations of models, new engines and transmissions, advertising themes, sales trends etc.); its production figures and market status; and its powertrain offerings, paint colors and major options. The company's models are then detailed individually with such information as body styles, prices, dimensions and weights, standard equipment and production figures.

Audi R8 30 Years of Quattro Awd
On a small assembly line in Neckarsulm, Germany, no more than twenty exotic Audi R8 sports cars are built daily. The entire process is overseen by small teams of specialists that oversee every step of production. Every single part is inspected carefully, and nothing goes unchecked. It is a level of hand-built quality one might expect to find in a Ferrari Enzo or the Vector W8A of the 1980s, but almost unheard of from a manufacturer the size of Audi AG. The Turbo Quattro Coupe (or Urquattro) of the early 1980s was largely assembled by hand much in the same way, but Audi has refined the process for the R8 and has introduced one of the most spectacular sports cars ever. I hope this book will provide a better insight into the design, development, and production of this magnificent automobile.
Talyllyn Railway - A Journey by Steam

Behind the Scenes on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is the UK's leading heritage railway, carrying vacationers from the popular seaside resort of Whitby across the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors to the market town of Pickering. The line has been made famous by the TV program Heartbeat, in which the station and village at Goathland features prominently as the fictional Aidensfield, and more recently by Channel 5's 'fly on the wall' documentary, Yorkshire Steam Railway. The author is not only a skilled photographer, but also a full time member of the railway's staff, which gives him a unique ability to capture the behind the scenes activities on the railway.

Many of the photographs are previously unpublished, and include unique views which can no longer be replicated.
Railways of Mann - Scene & Unseen
The railways of the Isle of Man offer a fascinating insight into public transport in the Victorian era. This small island in the Irish Sea is home to no fewer than seven operating railways and tramways, as well as a transport museum and railway relics preserved 'in situ'. The author, a well known transport photographer, undertook a tour of the island in 2019, and was granted privileged access behind the scenes to areas usually off limits to the general public. The result, published here, is a comprehensive illustrated survey of the island's lines, which will prove a valuable historical record, particularly of the Douglas Horse Tramway, which was going through a major transformation at the time of the visit.
