Patrick Stephens 1987 First H/Back pictorial boards VG 144pp many b/w and colour photos 9 x 8 520g ¶ This book is an album of railway photographs from the 1950s and '60s. Throughout this album there is a warm sense of nostalgia for the time when Britain had a 'proper' railway network. Adding a particular poignancy to this tribute to days gone by is the fact that most of the locomotives featured have long since been broken up.Pictures of both familiar and less well known locomotive classes are accompanied by the author's personal and highly informative commentary in this book.
