Taking its name from a classic 1940s text which opened the eyes of a new generation of enthusiasts, The Trains We Loved features 32 splendid paintings, many previously unpublished, by Philip Hawkins, and 100 of the finest black and white railway photographs by Philip Alexander, Eric Treacy and other famous names. The richly atmospheric text, based on sound research, combines unashamed nostalgia with substantial reference value. This is a book no true enthusiast will want to be without.

Kee p this on a handy shelf,

This review is from: The Trains We Loved (Paperback)
The illustrations are so beautifully produced and well chosen. For my generation it recalls holidays and travels and one smells again smoke and steam, hears once more those clacketing sounds as one sped to the sea or perhaps to a loved Grandparent. The articles take one about the country again with beguiling memories and interesting information. Not just the steam junkie will relish this lovely book, all who remember or wish they had known the later years of steam rail travel will be delighted. A book to pick up any time and open at any page.
