Synopsis

Steaming into Troubles is the final book in this unforgettable series, which takes readers on a thorough, fun and sometimes poignant journey through the times when we relied on steam railways to keep our countries running.

From 1814 through to 1993 (by which time steam railways had become more of a novelty than a necessity), we see life through the eyes of the railwaymen, and experience just a few of the difficulties that came with life in the cab - some more serious than others. Fans of previous books in the series will be pleased to see a few familiar faces, too.

A departure from form, in that the stories span the 19th and 20th centuries almost in entirety, and cover life on a number of railways (as well as a hop across to mainland Europe), nevertheless the author's charm and wit, and in-depth railway knowledge, are evident. Guaranteed to entertain and, as always, educate.

The Steaming Into series has proved incredibly popular since its inception in 2012; regularly topping Amazon categories, and gaining glowing reviews from readers across the globe. These books are by no means just for railway fans, but of course will touch the hearts of those who already know and love trains and their history.
