All over the country enthusiasts flock to lavish love and attention onto the preserved railways and relive bygone eras, especially the ever-popular 1940s re-enactments.

With written pieces reflecting on the work involved in keeping the preserved railways going, as well as the history of the Big Four, and insights into many of the heritage sites, this photographic book is a delight for all steam enthusiasts.
