Author: Julian Holland ISBN 10: 0715325825. Title: Amazing and Extraordinary Railway Facts Item Condition: used item in a good condition. Will be clean, not soiled or stained.
This is a collection of fascinating and diverse British railway facts and stories to read in any spare moment. Travel back to the age of steam and discover the world's oldest active steam locomotive before becoming up-to-date with railways in films, such as Harry Potter. In addition to the fascinating lists of longest tunnels, widest bridges and most powerful locomotives, ponder the dismal failure of Brunel's atmospheric railway in South Devon, before reading the rags-to riches tale of Frank Hornby. From the sublime to the ridiculous and the euphoric to the poignant, every railway enthusiast is catered for.
An interesting little book - but that is the trouble - it is a little book - only 7"x5".
It has a some reasonable articles but the pictures illustrating the articles are of very poor quality.
There are some interesting lists like "railway accidents" but the list of 38 events are crushed on to one small page makes it hard to read.
I rated it as being "not good value" but in rating this book I was rating it against its cover price of £10. If you want to purchase a copy look for a second hand copy from a book site on E Bay that offerers "post free" and also "buy two books , get a third free" and look for three books at the same price - my copy cost me £1.15.
Lots of fun and useful information you never knew or knew you wanted to know.
A good read for any railway fan, or geek.
Easy to pick up and read anytime.
