This book of legendary train journeys is awesome especially if you've just seen Murder on the Orient Express ( That was not a kids movie but the aerial train shots were just brilliant !!)

Written by Phillip Steele
i this fantastic book for young and older !! describes and illustrates with the excellently paper engineered pull out pages ( good for the reallily long trains !!)

The chapters include :

• The First Railways *Laying Tracks *The age of the Pioneers
• Rail Underground *Crossing the world
• Mountain Railways
• Diesel power
• Electric trains
• Cathedrals of trains ( stations)

The photos were difficult to get of the pullout long pages but the one here shown is an exampleof the quality of the illustrations

.I had this book on the couch and everyone who visited picked it up and enjoyed it even if they were NOT particularly interested in trains !! It really draws you in !!

In very good cond except for a small mend ( on spine) from a smoke free home
