Looking at trying to get hold of a copy of the OPC book LNER passenger trains and formations by Steve Banks and Clive Carter.
What should I be expecting to pay for a mint copy?

Re: Opc LNER formations
I had to check the time of your posting given the date...
Silly prices based on current number of copies on offer on the usual sites. However, you could chance your arm on a free download, usual security caveats apply: https://all-med.net/get/ebook.php?id=U8 ... &file=LNER Passenger Trains and Formations 1923-67
You have to register in order to download and I hesitate to comment on any copyright issues.

Re: Opc LNER formations
Out of interest I just did a search to see if any second hand copies were around - zero - nada
But I did find one intriguing hit regarding the promised 2nd book - https://www.brownsbfs.co.uk/Product/Ban ... 0860936718
LNER passenger trains and formations 1923-68Volume II,: Secondary, branch line and non-passenger services
??? Published 30/06/2019 ???
Availability Reprinting 30/04/2020
I guess this is either a mistake regarding the publication of the 2nd volume or maybe,... just maybe there is to be a reprint of the first.

Re: Opc LNER formations
It also suggests that it was published 30-6-19, which we know not to be true. I'll wait until I see a copy before me to believe it.

Yes spotted that - that's why I just edited the original.
Maybe worth a phonecall though to confirm what is actually being advertised.

Re: Opc LNER formations
We know for sure that the manuscript for the second volume is not yet complete and that Crecy have taken it off their lists due to the uncertainty.
If you are interested in LNER formations there are copies of various Carriage Workings available from the LNER Society, although print and distribution is temporarily suspended during the Covid-19 situation: https://www.lnersociety.org.uk/publications/
