The variety of steam operated preserved standard gauge former BR branch lines, narrow gauge routes serving totally different functions from those for which they were built, the scores of miniature railways with gauges as small as 10.25 inches or even 7.25 inches in leisure parks or even serving as a means of transport, museums, depots, and non-steam operation and preservation add up to the most comprehensive collection of railways and railwayana in the world. 'Steam British Isles' is the equally comprehensive guide to all these activities, listing sites, describing their function, and detailing locomotives, rolling stock and other items. The authors have compiled this guide over many years in past editions which have been regarded as the 'Bible' of the railway preservation movement, unequalled in content and presentation. Now they have meticulously updated the contents to take the volume into 1985
