Cornish Main Line

Thanks to its rich industrial history, which depended on efficient transportation, Cornwall has long been a focus of attention for many railway modellers. This book celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the opening of Brunel's main line from Plymouth to Truro and explores its history. It looks at the features along the line such as viaducts and notable gradients. It describes the traffic the line has carried through the ages and looks at stations, signal boxes and other structures. Not to be missed is the motive power that has been used on the line, from broad gauge locomotives to HSTs and 'Voyagers'. The book is both text rich and a source of good black and white photographs.
