GWR Manor - 7827 Lydham Manor GWR lined green as preserved - DCC Sound7827 Lydham Manor GWR Lined Green (preserved)Described as the flagship of the Dartmouth Steam Railway, Manor 4 6 0 No. 7827 Lydham Manor was one of five members of the class to be prepared to work the Royal Train and associated empty stock duties in August 1963 as well as being the first of the ex Barry Island 78XXs to return to steam, having only been preceded by No. 7808 Cookham Manor, which was sold to preservationists in full working order.

7827 Lydham Manor GWR Lined Green (preserved)Described as the ‘flagship’ of the Dartmouth Steam Railway, ‘Manor’ 4-6-0 No. 7827 Lydham Manor was one of five members of the class to be prepared to work the Royal Train and associated empty stock duties in August 1963 as well as being the first of the ex-Barry Island 78XXs to return to steam, having only been preceded by No. 7808 Cookham Manor, which was sold to preservationists in full working order. Withdrawn in October 1965 and only the fifth locomotive to leave Woodham Brothers’ scrapyard in South Wales, it moved to Newton Abbot for restoration on 13 June 1970 by Class 37 No. 6879 and then ‘Warship’ No. 856 Trojan. The British Railways-built ‘Manor’ returned to steam in March 1973 and made its first solo runs on the DVR’s newly acquired Torbay Steam Railway (later renamed the DSR) between Paignton and Kingswear on 27 April 1973. Even though it was delivered almost two years after the Great Western Railway was nationalised, for the start of its preservation career No. 7827 was restored to the iconic fully-lined pre-1934 livery with GREAT WESTERN on the tender, despite the class never carrying this scheme, the pre-WWII first batch being outshopped in green with no lining and the ‘shirtbutton’ monogram. This no doubt delighted the hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers who enjoyed haulage behind the locomotive for four decades until it was repainted into its as-delivered lined black in 2011. It was taken out of service in 2020 for a lengthy overhaul at Churston that saw it return as the pride of the DSR fleet in lined British Railways green in 2024

a nice retrospective of the art of the Deus Ex Universe
Format: Hardcover
Overall, a nice retrospective of the art of the Deus Ex Universe. However, there are areas where it could have further excelled. More in-game, non-character model, non-landscape art would have been great (they give you a few pages of in-game posters and the like, I would have preferred that they covered more of this). There is a smattering of things that were designed but not used, I would have loved to see that explored as it's own section in the book. We know that they had planned, at one time, to have things take place in a few more locales in Human Revolution, it would have been great to see some of the early concept art for those sections. Neither of the mobile Deus Ex games were touched upon at all in the book. Granted there isn't much material that could be covered with them, but nonetheless, a page or two about them would have been nice. My biggest complaint? The book is just barely too tall to fit on my bookshelf.

Lovely
Format: Hardcover
Packaging was fine. BooK was near perfect condition. As for the book, it’s absolutely beautiful. It doesn’t include all of the concept art I’ve been able to find online but it does have a bunch and I love having it in this physically accessible place. It’s bigger than I thought it would be in terms of height and width and thicker than I thought it would be. Very happy. The art for this video game series is absolutely stunning.

Fantastic art book. As good as the first one.
I love the Airbender animation series. I can still remember the strong nostalgia I had while watching the first episode of The Legend of Korra: Book 1 Air, recalling all the characters from the previous series, and watch how time has passed and given us a new generation to look upon. The Legend of Korra: Book 1 - Air, The Art of the Animated Series is a nice addition to that experience. It's as good as the first art book . The cover art is different from the original product image. It has Korra looking rather too serious. The book features development art from all the 12 episodes in Book One: Air. There are designs for the main characters, followed by the Republic City and its inhabitants and then we have art from each episode in order. Character designs form the bulk of the book. There's Korra in different outfits, including those from Pro-bending gear, and also the cute four-year-old Korra. There are lots of line art and also coloured versions for the characters. Other characters are Tenzin and his family, Lin Beifong, Amon, Katara, and about most of the characters that appear in the episodes. The environment art are beautiful. The buildings and sets have a mix of oriental, industrial and European style. The world has changed since Aang was the Avatar. You'll see some connection to the past, for example, with Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Overall, the world feels very different because it has evolved. My favourite piece is the aerial painting of Air Temple Island that appears towards the end. The last few pages have some pretty cool miscellaneous art, such as the classic Avatar characters in their adult form, and also other characters drawn in non-animation style. Throughout the book, commentary is provided by creators Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko and director Joaquin Dos Santos. They give illuminating insight to the designs and stories. Highly recommended to fans of the series, and those who like animation or character art. It's one of my 2013 favourite artbooks. (See more pictures of the book on my blog.
