Light Railways Catalogue

William Bain and Co are best-known for their fencing but made a wide range of iron products. This catalogue is for everything you would need to construct a 'light', narrow-gauge railway such as were used in mines, sawmills and other factories.

Interestingly, the catalogue gives not only a London office address but indicates that they also had representatives in South Africa and Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia).
