A rare and fascinating artifact from the 20th century, this British Rail WR leaflet runabout is a true treasure for railway enthusiasts.
Measuring just over two inches in width and three inches in height, this tiny document measures 2.1 cm by 6.9 cm (0.83 in x 2.64 in). Its perforated edges allow it to be easily torn out of its original binding, revealing a richly printed image of the locomotive in full steam.
The date stamp on the bottom left-hand corner reveals that it was issued in January 1980, during a particularly gloomy period in Welsh winters. This runabout is an excellent example of the limited production runs that were made, and its unique provenance makes it highly sought after by collectors.
The original binding is still present, with a neat perforation at the top edge that allows the leaflet to be folded into thirds. The text is printed on high-quality paper and features a distinctive British Rail design aesthetic. This remarkable document is sure to spark interest in anyone interested in railway history, locomotives, or Welsh heritage.
