By Robert Adley

Robert Adley chronicles his remarkable mission to photograph in colour the dying days of steam on British Rail. The story takes us from mainline station to engine shed and features first hand railwaymen's tales, plus anecdotes and authentic facts and data.

Over 70 of the author's unique and previously unpublished colour photographs illustrate the text - these photographs portray locations and subjects of prime interest to the railway enthusiast and highlight the world of steam in its declining years, as opposed to the unreal glitter of preserved locomotives.

Secondhand book in excellent condition - 1983 reprint.

Hardback, 20cm x 26cm, 160 pages with 70 colour photographs.
