The Wharncliffe Transport imprint has been designed to encourage readers to remember the classic days of British transport. Covering all periods of railways, buses, trams, cars, canals and bikes, these books provide a nostalgic look back at classic engines and vehicles. Some titles will be illustration led, whilst others will concentrate on the memories such classic machines evoke. All will inspire anyone with an interest in British transport history.
We've got a dedicated Facebook and Twitter page where you get the latest news and updates from Pen & Sword Transport.

The text is deeply researched and rich in detail – all backed up with an impressive collection of mostly black & white images showing the locos at all stages of their careers... This book should prove to be a useful reference source for years to come, making it well worth the price.
