Summary

A collection of some of the finest photographs to have graced the pages of Steam Railway, Britain's railway magazine.

Gallery of Steam Summary

This book presents an eye-catching and evocative collection of the finest photographs to have graced the pages of Steam Railway, Britain's biggest-selling railway magazine. Originally published in hardback in 2004 and now available in paperback, Gallery of Steam is the ultimate portfolio of steam photography, taken throughout the world - and mainly in colour - by readers of the magazine. This book is as much about the skilled and dedicated photographers who go to extraordinary lengths to capture the perfect image as it is about the nostalgia of an earlier time, fading away like the steam from a mighty locomotive on a crisp December morning.

Table of Contents

Wonderful photographs, mainly in colour, accompanied by an informative commentary. Main line magic: the opening chapter show the very largest locomotives doing what they were built for - running on the main lines. A world away: images of steam still in daily use around the world, with China and India to the fore. Steam in its surroundings: stunning images of steam at work in glorious landscapes around Britain, from coast to moorland. Pride of the 'Big Four': the fine machines of the great designers of the LMS, LNER, GWR and Southern Railway. Steam byways: photos of steam at work on branch lines.
