The Complete Visual History of Steam and Rail
Two perfect books for train enthusiasts, with a historical reference book spanning nearly two centuries of locomotive development, and an enthralling illustrated guide to the world's greatest railway journeys of all timme
Steam, Soot and Rust
Steam locomotives were an integral part of our daily lives and had been for almost one and a half centuries. Furthermore, they were still being built in large numbers. It was popularly believed that they would see the century out and probably well beyond that. But the reality was that by 1968 steam traction had disappeared from Britain's main line railways. It was harrowing to witness the breaking up of engines, which were the icons of their day, capable of working long-distance inter-city expresses weighing 400 tons on schedules faster than a mile a minute. This book chronicles the last few years as scrap yards all over Britain went into overtime, cutting up thousands of locomotives and releasing a bounty of more than a million tons of scrap whilst the engines, which remained in service, were a shadow of their former selves; filthy, wheezing and clanking their way to an ignominious end.
Steam Trains of the World
From the British Isles and the Middle East, from Russia and China and the Ocean Islands of Australasia, pictures of the highest quality have been included to present a lavish illustration of living steam. Here are facts and tales about the lines operating today, the landscapes they cross and the cargoes they haul. Here also are detailed commentaries on the world's magnificent engines, documented with a clear guide as to where throughout the world they can be found.
