In April 1997-98 Camilla Carr and Jon James set off as volunteers in a £500 Lada stacked high with toys, games, footballs, paints and a parachute. Their destination was Chechnya and their aim was to work with children who had been traumatised by war. After working for two months setting up and teaching in a rehabilitation centre and watching the children begin to smile and play again, they were kidnapped by Chechen guerrillas. There followed fourteen months of incarceration in homes that varied from a concrete box with no natural light or fresh air, to a pink trompe la oeil bedroom via a sauna and various cellars. They experienced everything from rape and mental torture to moments of compassion and kindness. They survived by using tools such as tai chi, yoga, meditation and humour; and through creating a dialogue with their captors, looking beneath their masks of fear and anger to reach the small flame of love and laughter unquenched by the demonising nature of war.

The simple and lightweight construction, with minimal land requirements, means that miniature railways can be quite ephemeral in nature. The author, a much published writer on the miniature railway scene, both in the UK and overseas, has put together this collection of 37 miniature railways from around the UK which are no longer with us. Each line has a chapter of its own, consisting of a brief outline of the line’s history and route, along with a selection of photographs which illustrate the character of the featured railway.

A 64 page A4 softback album, profusely illustrated in colour, showcasing this unique survivor, by well known writer and photographer Jonathan James in collaboration with SKLR Publicity Manager Paul Best. The modern day Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway was borne out of the railway network which previously served the giant Bowater’s paper mills, just to the north of the Kent town of Sittingbourne. The heritage line uses track, locomotives and other equipment from its industrial past as it takes the traveller on a journey from suburban Sittingbourne out into the Kent marshes.

The ‘Colonel Stephens’ network of eccentric and impecunious light railways have long held a fascination for railway enthusiasts, including those too young to remember their operation. This A4 softback album is the first in a two part series focussing on the two of the Colonels’ railways to have been preserved (coincidentally both in Kent), by well known railway writer and photographer Jonathan James. This first volume looks at the East Kent Railway, based a few miles to the north of Dover, and showcases what the volunteers there have achieved in their rebuilding efforts.
