£5.00
On offer a hardcover “Great British Trains”, by O.S. Nook
This is a story of the time before the private motor car and the internal airline had supplanted the train as the premier means of long distance travel in Great Britain.
The Royal Scot, The Golden Arrow, The Queen of Scots, Pullman and the Torbay Limited were symbolic of leisured daytime travel for the passengers if not for the engine crews and the names alone are enough to revive memories and stir the imagination.
In recalling those days one thinks of the innumerable preliminaries, asides and incidents that went to make up a main line railway journey, and to the author looking back over three quarters of a century of such experience those memories certainly come crowding. in committing to paper an attempt has been made to provide something for all those who love railways.
The book is in a very good condition and has been read and dust jacket in a very good condition.
