Flaptekst Great British Steam Locomotives book
The industrial revolution and the age of steam were intertwined, each pushing the boundaries of the other, and the creation of steam locomotives changed the world forever. This book looks back over some of the most significant and beloved of Britain’s steam locomotives, also charting the developments in railway history along the way. Many of the locomotives featured were ‘firsts’, with dramatic interest in their technology, the level of public fascination and love continuing to this day.
This book charts changes in railway history around Britain from the early days of steam, the Penny-darren of 1804, now accepted as the first passenger carrying steam locomotive on a railway track; Locomotion No.1, celebrated as the first ‘formal’ railway line to carry fare paying passengers in 1825; Stephenson’s Rocket of 1829; GWR’s broad-gauge North Star from 1832; the world famous Flying Scotsman; LNER’s Mallard; BR’s Britannia; right up to the new-build steam locomotives with the impressive Tornado.
