Pontypridd to Merthyr

Including Aberdare

by Vic Mitchell & Keith Smith

Many of the valleys in the area had two parallel lines and consequently some unusual photographs were possible. These are featured, along with maps and diagrams to unravel the complex relationships and histories of these mainly industrial routes.

Reviews:

'Indispensable for anyone studying or modelling these branches.'
