This book shows a selection of photographs of the locomotives and rolling stock circulating along the preserved lines of the United Kingdom, highlighting the historical background of the history of the railway from the most remote times to the "end of steam" in the Sixties. It also presents the people who are in charge of their conservation and the historical antecedents of this preservation.
A book that fans of locomotives and trains will like preserved and that serves to compare how well this issue is dealt with in the United Kingdom with respect to Spain.

This is Eric Bottomley's second art book, in which he has varied both his transport themes and the mediums in which he works. The majority of paintings are in oils but also included are gouache, mixed media and pencil sketches. All four regions of Britain’s railways are covered, mostly of the BR period from 1948 to the end of steam in 1968. There are some lovely Welsh scenes including Abercynon shed, Hindlip Hall at Gobowen, the Vale of Rheidol Railway (with No 3 Talybont), the Corris Railway, a 43xx near Barmouth, Llanfyllin Station, the Tanat Valley, Bala Station, the Talyllyn in the snow and my personal favourite and the star of your Christmas Newsletter cover, Talybont on Usk in the snow). Further afield you’ll find scenes on the Trans-Siberian Express in Moscow, The Golfers Express leaving Belfast and preserved diesels in the USA.
