The GWR emerged from the 1923 grouping largely unchanged, even enlarged, and over its long history it established an ethos and a following amongst enthusiasts that was second to none. Despite the disappearance of the GWR in 1948, for many, the newly created Western Region of British Railways was the GWR without the `G', with much of the old company's identity surviving. For railway modellers, the GWR and BR(WR) have always been popular prototypes for modelling. The main lines offer a range of superb opportunities and the romance of the branch lines in the West Country is evident by the number of layouts based on them. The latest title in this hugely successful Midland series portrays in some 160 colour illustrations the facilities and services offered by the BR(WR) in the two decades after nationalisation .The photos are enhanced by detailed captions, making the book a useful work of reference to any modeller contemplating the construction of a layout based on the WR during those years and a joy for those still captivated by the GWR and its legacy.
