Customer Reviews

Very much an introduction
I enjoyed reading this little book. It deals with all aspacts of steam railways, and not just the locomotives. The explanations are invariable intelligible, but rather superficial in places. It would be a good place to start - but would not take you far on your journey of understanding!
