The incredible transport paintings of Malcolm Root need little introduction for he has already gained a national reputation for both the quality of the art and the detail conveyed in all his pictures. His superb paintings evoke the times which many regard as the halcyon days of travel in Great Britain, each picture containing not only a wealth of period detail but mechanical information accurate enough to satisfy the most ardent specialist. In this way the artist imbues each painting with its own story, in many instances based upon the artist's boyhood memories from around Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Though the majority of images included in the book portray the age of steam particularly steam railway engines, there are also paintings of many other types of transport on road, rail and sea, each set within the context of its times. For the transport aficionado, or for those who have a soft spot for the nostalgia evoked by these wonderful paintings, this book will provide hours of delight and endless reading pleasure.

About the Author
in 1950 and still lives in nearby Halstead.
From an early age he combined his love
of art with a fascination for all kinds of
transport. On leaving school he entered
the printing industry and in 1981 took
the decision to become a full-time professional
artist. Commissions followed,
particularly for railway scenes, and in
1983 he was elected a full member of
the Guild of Railway Artists. Malcolm's
paintings haveencompassed almost every
form of transport - from horse and cart
and tram to Concorde and `le Shuttle'.
They have also appeared in many forms
including fine art prints, collectors' plates,
jigsaws, calendars and books.
TomTyler was born in South Devon
just before the SecondWorldWar.His interest
in all types of transport progressed
from Dinky toys and Hornby trains to the
Land Rover and Ferguson tractor on
which he learnt to drive in his early teens
- off road, of course! His first car in 1956
was a 1935 Morris 8Tourer. He now lives
in Ipswich, where he owns a 1946 SunbeamTalbot
and a 1957A35. He is a keen
dissectologist with a large collection oftransport
jigsaw puzzles, and he has written
several books on this subject.
