The book presents a fascinating and diverse collection of British railway trivia and stories. Whether you want to discover which are the longest running tunnels, widest bridges and most powerful locomotives, or ponder the rags-to-riches take of Frank Hornby, there is something for every enthusiast to dip into. From the sublime to the ridiculous and the euphoric to the poignant, every piece is in some way both amazing and extraordinary. This is a stocking filler for Christmas and a bedside gem for those nights when you want a short read before turning in. It even has an index, which is a rarity with railway books produced for the British market.
