FASCINATING. A cracking read for anyone who remembers when travelling by rail was enjoyable. --The Scottish Sunday Post<br /><br />Sumptuous photographs but its appeal lies not just in its attractiveness as a publication. Quinn holds out a hand and invites us up onto the footplate, or into the steamy , fuggy warmth of a late-40s waiting room, or in an engine shed with its sharp spell of steam, coal and grease - anywhere the spirit of these locomotives which where living things resides. --South Wales Argus<br /><br />Bolton Evening News Hundreds of wonderful photographs featuring stations, staff, passengers and trains in glorious colour and black an white, transport the reader back to this lovingly remembered age of transport. --Bolton Evening News<br /><br />An interesting and detailed look at steam trains throughout the century. An informative and enjoyable read. --Cornwall Today<br /><br />This well researched and smartly presented 250-page book passes with flying colours. Anybody whose pulse quickens at the thought of that golden era should be delighted to find such a charming book as Memories of Steam under his (or even her) tree this christmas. --Swindon Evening Advertiser<br /><br />This is a wonderfully nostalgic containing numerous photographs and the recollections of former railway workers and passengers. --Scottish Home and Country
It would make an excellent present for a young railway enthusiast who has outgrown 'Thomas' but is not yet ready for the more extensive text of a standard railway history. --The Railway Magazine
