RAILWAY PHILATELY-

A BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GLOSSARY

Part II: Thematics

Introduction

The decision as to what to include and what not to include has been even more difficult than for the TPO/ Railway Station list. An index for the first 25 volumes (1966-1991) was issued with the December, 1991 issue of Railway Philately, the Journal of the Railway Philatelic Group. There seemed little point therefore in listing short thematic articles, which are included in the index.

A further index, covering volumes 26-33 (1991-1999) was published in March, 2000.
