For the Love of Steam-Part B Don Benn

This book is Part B of a sequel to my first book published by Pen & Sword at the end of June 2017 entitled 'A Biography of British Train Travel'. Part A covered some Southern Region topics and also included chapters on the Vordenberg Rack Line in Austria and a journey to seek out the last of Spanish and Portuguese steam in 1974. That is where Part B takes up the story with the very last of British working steam-the NCB collieries-before recording the narrow gauge scene in France and the twilight of German steam. Then it is on to the flourishing British heritage era with photographs and running logs behind some of my favourite locomotives. This book is 88 pages and is illustrated throughout with high quality colour and black and white photographs
