Kevin realises that it is a long way from the top of this web page to the bottom where Terence A. Mullarkey has done a much more thorough job on this mainly excellent publisher. In its early days the contributions by Roger Kidner were mildly eccentric and veering towards the style of Rowland Emett, who in Google terms is a sort of British National Treasure. Some of the books fetch ridiculous prices and it is about time someone digitized the lot and provide access at a reasonable cost. The corona plague is showing the value of digital communication.
George Ottley told KPJ that the Oakwood Press began life in a suburban garage (in Sidcup). Its early products were characterized by their plain grey cardboard covers and their high standard of printing and paper as illustrated above. The main participant was Kidner, and he was aided by Michael Robbins. The high standards set by this publisher have been spoilt to some extent by certain of the limitations of Chacksfield's output. The bibliographical record in spite of Ottley is poor: there is no index of Locomotion Papers in Ottley, for instance (as KPJ grows older and fears less a further encounter with George he stands less in awe of his master and is more ready to accept that he did make some mistakes in overall strategy..
The origins of Oakwood Press go back to 1931 when R. Michael Robbins,
a 16-year-old schoolboy at Westminster School, started to publish a quarterly
railway magazine entitled Locomotion. He was soon joined by Roger W. Kidner
and the magazine was issued as a modest duplicated affair and ran until September
1934. From then on, the cover and photographic section were properly printed
on a machine purchased and operated by Roger. The 'works' being a garden
shed at his home in Sidcup, Kent. From March 1936 the magazine was printed
by a comercial printer and continued to improve, until world War II stopped
publication. Meanwhile it had been decided to exand into book publishing;
at that time there had only been a handful of railway books published and
the market was unknown. The first title chosen was The Lynton and Barnstaple
Railway by L.T. Catchpole. This railway had closed in Autumn 1935 and the
book was timely released in March 1936. Only 250 copies were printed as no
great demand was expected; however, a reprint was needed by May of the same
year, and the book has been reprinted numerous times since. The next titles
to emerge from Oakwood were The North London Railway by M. Robbins, The Taff
Vale Railway by D.S.M. Barrie and The Hull and Barnsley Railway by Dr. G.D.
Parkes, plus the very informative eight parts of The Light Railway Handbook
by Roger Kidner. Then came the war, the Press was to be out of action for
about seven years. Post-war, paper rationing was strict and the allocation
for the Oakwood Press extremely small, however, a few new titles and reprints
were released in 1946. It was decided not to restart the magazine, but to
convert it to occasional small books on subjects not covered elsewhere, called
'Locomotion Papers' (LPs). The first was by the well-known railway historian
George Dow, The Alford and Sutton Tramway. The Oakwood Library of Railway
History series, known as 'OLs', restarted agin in early 1947 with The Maryport
and Carlisle Railway by Jack Simmons. Several more were produced until Michael
Robbins (on taking up a position with London Transport) was required to
relinquish editorship of the series, which for the next 35 years was edited
by Roger Kidner. By the time advancing age made a transfer to younger hands
necessary, 65 'Oakwood Library' railway histories, 153 'Locomotion Papers',
and well over 100 other titles had been published. The latter included the
series of large and detailed books on Welsh narrow gauge railways by J.I.C.
Boyd, the first of which was published in 1949 and can be said to have begun
the practice of publishing really deeply researched works into the history
and equipment of the smaller railways and companies.
This listing is far from complete and tracing titles in the former BLPC
was very difficult: now impossible. KPJ suspects that not even the Press
knows what it has published! The Locomotion Papers are more like a recycling
bin
Mullarkey has now changed all of this

This is a relatively inexpensive bibliography (or is it a publisher's
catalogue?) of the output from the Oakwood Press which seemed to exist in
a remarkably large number of locations (even this is partly resolved). The
illustrations (99% of the covers are illustrated) are terribly small and
people wanting further illumination will either have to hope that someone
is selling a copy on E-bay (where it is possible to enlarge the thumbnail
images) or get a magnifying glass. Having gone to all that trouble to seek
out the entire oeuvre it is disappointing that no attempt was made to describe
what was between the covers. Furthermore, it might have been better for the
publisher, which has already wandered into audio-visual to have ventured
into electronic publishing. Kevin sees that he purchased this from Robert
Humm on 6 July 2012 (sad to stop at Stamford Station and not be able to pop
