The DJ hs some bad edgeson the top of the spine## READ ON: We provide two or more images of all our books and maps so you know what you buy. READ ON for more information and details. ## ## Let's delve into the fascinating world of "Midland Steam" by W. A. Tuplin, a book that transports us back to an era when steam locomotives ruled the rails. ### Introduction: "Midland Steam" is a captivating chronicle celebrating the golden age of steam locomotives, specifically those operated by the Midland Railway Company in Great Britain. Written by the esteemed railway historian W. A. Tuplin, this book offers a nostalgic journey through time, where the rhythmic chuffing of steam engines echoed across the picturesque landscapes of the Midlands.## ### Midland Steam had a character all its own. It possessed a soul?an essence that set it apart from other locomotives. In these pages, Tuplin masterfully captures the individual personality of each engine, breathing life into their iron and steel frames. Every locomotive has a story to tell, from the majestic express trains hurtling through the countryside to the humble shunting engines laboring in sidings.## ### Copious Data and Orderly Presentation: Tuplin's meticulous research shines through as he presents copious data about the Midland Railway's steam fleet. Whether you're a seasoned rail enthusiast or a curious newcomer, you'll find delight in the technical specifications, historical anecdotes, and photographs that adorn the book. The author's commitment to an orderly presentation ensures that even complex details are accessible to readers.## ### The Lure of the Rails: As you turn the pages, you'll feel the coal dust on your skin, hear the hiss of steam, and sense the camaraderie among the railway workers. "Midland Steam" isn't just about locomotives; it's about the people who operated them?the engineers, firemen, and signalmen who kept the wheels turning. It's a tribute to their dedication and the enduring allure of the rails.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY. Please get in touch with me for a shipping quotation. ##.
