The UK national library service has a copy, as do several other libraries. It is probably not the done thing, but in these circumstances I would borrow a copy and scan/photograph it.

Register on AbeBooks and Ebay and leave an active search there. Ebay sold a copy in February for 99p.

If you're in the north west, my local crafts/antiques/tat centre has a big second hand book shop, with a lot of railway books in it.
