*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Over fifty years ago, main line steam in Britain ceased to exist: the last ''official'' date was 11 August 1968. At the time, British Railways'' plan was that this was to be the end of steam traction - although a special dispensation was given for Britannia Class 4-6-2 No. 70013 Oliver Cromwell to travel under its own steam into preservation on the 12th and 13th of that month. We now know that this was not quite the end; that, in fact, steam locomotives would eventually return to the main lines on highly popular ''specials''. New in paperback, packed with over 200 rare photographs, Remembering Steam takes a look back at the days and years that led up to the end of steam on Britain''s railways.
