This is not a derogatory comment (see above) but rather those who sat by the line-side, visited railway sheds or hung around stations will simply love this book. It doesn't matter if you didn't live or visit the places mentioned in the 144 pages, if you were a railway enthusiast (or trainspotter) in the 1960s you will just delight in the story telling spun by the joint authors.

The vast majority of the photographs, (mainly black and white but also a few colour) were taken by the authors on unsophisticated cameras and occasionally it shows but much of the material is sharp and well composed. Bear in mind that these guys were amateurs and didn't purport to be railway photographers in the true sense of the word. They were just taking photographs at locations they were3 visiting. However, the book contains over 200 pictures and each is interestingly captioned. There are 130 different photo locations covered in the book, so a fairly broad coverage of England and Wales.

This is a follow-up book to the authors' first work “Moved by Steam”. As I enjoyed the current book under review so much I will make a point of getting a copy of their other book too.

Silver Link Publishing is renowned for printing good quality books and this one is no exception.

Mighty Ape's price is pretty amazing too – Under $20 and the RRP in Britain is twenty pounds! Get it while the offer is there.
