About this title

Synopsis

Malcolm Root is fast becoming one of Britain's
most respected railway and transport artists.
While his originals are much sought-after by
collectors, his prints and books sell many thousands
of copies to those who appreciate the
artist's passion for recreating scenes as they were
in the halcyon days of steam.
This book, for which Malcolm has created many
original works, presents a wonderfully evocative
record of the days of steam on Britain's railways,
from the mighty express locomotives racing one
another to the North, to the quiet byways of the
railway system where aged engines potter along
almost forgotten branch lines. TomTyler's light
touch adds a perfect narrative to each scene.
Such is the detail of Malcolm's paintings that once
again enthusiasts and railwaymen alike will be
able to rekindle their memories of steam. But
there is more than just accuracy here. Because of
his understanding and love of railways, Malcolm's
paintings are imbued with the very atmosphere
of railway life; the bustle and roar, the smell of hot
oil and steam combined, and the sound of
approaching exhaust-beats on a clear calm day.

About the Author

Malcolm Root was born in 1950 just in
time to enjoy the last years of steam.
Having been born and bred in north
Essex he was always going to have a soft
spot for the Great Eastern and
especially the old ColneValley Railway.
On leaving school he joined the printing
trade, and left to become a professional
artist in 1981. During his childhood he
played football on the fields adjoining
the local railway. Sadly his playing days
are over, and Saturday afternoons are
spent watching Colchester United from
the terraces.Today Malcolm's original
paintings hang in many private and
public collections, while also appearing
on greetings cards, calendars, collectors'
plates and jigsaw puzzles.

TomTyler was born in South Devon just
before the SecondWorldWar and
within earshot of the GreatWestern
Railway expresses labouring up Dainton
Bank fromTotnes. Many childhood
hours were spent on station platforms
cadging visits to locomotive cabs, and
hanging over bridges breathing in large
quantities of smoke and steam. The
model railway with the Duchess of Atholl
was his favourite toy. Now in second
childhood, the model railway continues,
and he takes a great interest in the
many preserved railways around the
country, and in railway-related jigsaw
puzzles.
