Maybe you consider yourself as passionate for trains as legendary trainspotter, Francis Bourgeois or maybe you’re on the lookout to find the perfect read for the new year…either way, we have a recommendation for you. Tracing the history of one of the most popular heritage railway sites in Britain, author, Michael Vanns appeals to locomotive lovers across the world in his cultural work, The North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Transporting hundreds of thousands of sightseers in traditional steam and diesel hauled trains, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway itself has been a well-loved attraction for decades, and Vann’s book sheds light on its popularity, developments and changes alongside a collection of fascinating photographs from across the years.
Now marking the 5th year since its initial release as a hardback, publishing company, Pen and Sword have issued a brand new paperback version of Vanns’ historical guide. So, next time you’re taking the train, why not grab a brew, sit back and immerse yourself in your very own locomotive travel through time? For more information, please visit www.pen-and-sword.co.uk.
