By Geoff Holland and Owen Ryder

This book is based on the notes prepared for participants on just such a course to read before the day, so that they could extract the maximum possible enjoyment from their time on the footplate. 

These notes relate to the 15 inch gauge steam locomotive Siân, but have been considerably expanded to apply to any passenger hauling steam railway locomotive, from the model gauge 2½ inch through the other model, miniature and narrow gauges, up to 4ft 8½ standard gauge and even 5ft broad gauge. 

48 pages, lavishly illustrated in black and white
