Narrow Gauge Locomotives
Britain’s narrow gauge railways are host to some of the oldest, most charming, varied and extraordinary locomotives to be found anywhere. This book is a fascinating survey of these appealing engines.
Industrial Railways
The very first railways were built by British industry, and at their height private industrial railways could be found all over Britain, moving mined and quarried raw materials, finished goods and much else. This is their story.
Steam Lorries
Titans of the road, steam lorries were a key part of the road haulage scene before the Second World War. They eventually lost out to diesel, but their romance lives on. This is their story.
Stationary Steam Engines
From small engines for driving machinery to the massive beam horizontal engines that kept tunnels dry and our cities clean, stationary engines are impressive relics of our industrial past. This is their story.
Traction Engines
Traction engines are a familiar and stirring sight at steam rallies up and down the country, but what were they for, why do they look as they look, and where were they built? These book answers all these questions and more.
The Slate Industry
For thousands of years slate has been quarried in Britain, but in Victorian times it became big business, and the legacy of the industry now shapes the landscape of North Wales, especially.
Road Rollers
From the earliest steam rollers to classic diesel and petrol rollers, this book presents the history of these popular road-making machines and their accessories, once such a common sight on our roads.
Spirit of Locomotion
Since opening in September 2004, Locomotion - The National Railway Museum at Shildon has attracted one a quarter million visitors to a part of County Durham which is steeped in railway history. This book contains over 60 photographs and gives a unique insight into the life of the museum.
Locomotive Portraits
Railway art has existed as long as there have been Railways. Many famous names have included some aspect of railways in their paintings, notably Claude Monet and J M W Turner. This tradition has been kept alive by the formation in the UK of the Guild of Railway Artists, which now consists of over 200 artists, of which Jonathan Clay is one. Over the last few years, Jonathan has had many requests to produce his own book of pictures, and, having relented at last, this is the result.??In order to save time for his first ever railway event in 1999, he painted a series of locomotive pictures without backgrounds, intending to add the scenery later. However, they sold so well, that they became the norm, and the series of 'Locomotive Portraits' was born.
