Here is an opportunity to go train-spotting in the 1950s and early '60s along the 158-mile Premier route between Crewe and Euston. With 200 photographs, Rod Steele shows us all the principal ex-LMS locomotives as well as named trains such as 'The Mancunian', 'The Royal Scot' and 'The Caledonian' - all replicated by Hornby Dublo at that time. The timing of the book is appropriate as this year celebrates the 170th Anniversary of both Euston and Crewe stations. It is understood that the majority of the photographs have not been published before and provide a nostalgic journey for those of us that remember the days when steam dominated the railways in Britain.
