The Trains We Loved by David Stjohn Thomas
Taking its name from a classic 1940s text which opened the eyes of a new generation of enthusiasts, The Trains We Loved features 32 splendid paintings, many previously unpublished, by Philip Hawkins, and 100 of the finest black and white railway photographs by Philip Alexander, Eric Treacy and other famous names. The richly atmospheric text, based on sound research, combines unashamed nostalgia with substantial reference value. This is a book no true enthusiast will want to be without.
Patrick Whitehouse and David St John Thomas shared a deep love of the railways. Both authors wrote a large number of railway books, some as individuals but many in collaboration. Patrick Whitehouse was dedicated to railway preservation, his death in 1993 brought to an end a great writing partnership which sold more than a million books. David St John Thomas was the founder of David & Charles and its chairman until 1990. He lives in Nairn, Scotland.
