An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Locomotives
Colin Garratt's hefty volume traces the full arc of locomotive history, from rattling early ironhorses to the sleek giants of modern rail. It's a richly visual experience, backed by 700 photographs that do a remarkable job of showing just how wildly diverse train design has been across different countries and eras. Short on waffle, long on substance, each entry gives you genuine technical insight without drowning the reader in jargon. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or simply curious about how the world moved before motorways took over, this encyclopaedia earns its shelf space.
