Railways and Recollections 37 1978

The aim of this series is to appeal to readers of all ages, perhaps for different reasons. In this volume: We travel back to the year 1978, as ever an eventful year, that included: Prince Andrew joining the Royal Navy, the sleeper train fire at Taunton and the introduction of the state earnings related pension. This book includes pictures of tank engines, steam engines, electric trains and multiple units. The books are designed to build into a collection placing the railway in the context of key events thus providing an historical perspective of travel in times past. For those old enough to remember the years depicted, the series will, we hope, provide reminders for many of school days, time perhaps spent train-spotting, shed bashing and generally gricing. The books also make ideal theme gifts for the year of birth, marriage, retirement, or starting work.
