Description

Preserved Steam Trains of Britain by Dr. W. A. Sharman. 'The demise of the steam train from the landscape in the land of it's birth was undeniably one of the tragedies of the 20th century. It's re-birth in preserved form has been one of the most remarkable social phenomena in the years since 1968. Thousands of enthusiast refused to let the steam train die and restored locomotives to their pristine glory by the hundreds, taking over closed branch lines and eventually operating them again over the rails of the national rail network. This book will appeal to both layman and connoisseur alike as a wonderful photographic portrayal of one of Britain's most nostalgic tourist attractions, loved by old and young alike, the magic of the steam train. The book has a small stain spot on the inside front free page but overall a very tidy copy. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
