Discovering Britain's Little Trains

Discovering Britain's Little Trains
£14.39 £17.99 RRP

Written by one of the UK's most respected railway writers, Julian Holland, this photographic guide contains photographs of the lines from past to present and remarkable archive pictures. The perfect gift for railway enthusiasts the book takes the reader on a nostalgic trip to the eccentric world of Britain's narrow gauge railways, including every aspect of the lines, their trains and the people who worked on and used them. Found in some of Britain's most beautiful scenery, many of these lines have long since closed. However, due to the efforts of preservationists, have either reopened or are in the process of being reopened. Julian Holland's fascinating text is accompanied by nostalgic photographs and ephemera of both closed and reopened lines in their heyday, along with specially commissioned colour photographs of what can be seen today, simple route maps, and information panels on recognised footpaths, cycleways and nearby attractions of interest to railway enthusiasts.
