Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railways by Brian Reading
With previously unpublished photographs documenting the period's industrial and mineral railways scene.
'A real plus point is the inclusion of maps of each location/railway, with markers to show where photos have been taken from - an excellent ideaThoroughly recommended.' -- Steam Railway Magazine, August 2023
As the curtain closed for mainline steam traction, Brian captured with film and vivid memories, the sights, sounds and smells; the last acts of great mechanical and human railway personalities. Close friends with railway workers, Brian was a member of Alan Peglar’s original Flying Scotsman support team, helped restore Bressingham’s Thundersley, and ran with the A4 Sir Nigel Gresley. Brought-up with lathes, mills, the smell of cutting oil and steam, Ian developed a passion for science and engineering. Designing an LNER B17 steam replica as a teenager, he pursued a career as a professional engineer. Ian retains an admiration for the generations of engineers whose imagination gave birth to modern industry and transportation.
