Regarding Bonds of Euston Road

[Elizabeth Illes]

I would very much like to thank the member who posted a copy of an old catalog for the company Bonds of Euston Road dated 1938
I am the daughter aged 83 of Denis Phillips who owned the company
I remember clearly the stress that this catalog used to cause and the work to check details and prices my father used to bring home some details to work on ( and later my brothers) and the strain to finish it prior to it going to the printers
I was so interested to see an old catalog was still in existence
Thank you. Elizabeth Illes

thanks for posting, I bought it on a trip to Middleton Railway in Leeds, with some other books . This and another book end up was given to a model engineering clubs library and another couple of books were given to a local museums library. over the years Ive posted extracts from a few old books and catalogs on here so that others can enjoy them.

Amazing - just my kind of shop - they certainly aren't like this any more.

I remember going there in probably the late 1970s. Lovely place. Had some very nice models (steam, not leggy ones!).
