A Pageant of British Steam is a book honouring the position to
which Britain's Heritage Steam Railways has now arrived.
Preservation has become the word for the achievements of the
thousands of volunteers who have given up a mass of time to advance
the saving of this section of Britain's history. Most of these
people are the likely descendants of our Industrial Revolution
where the skills have never been forgotten. The book shows in fine
colour photography the wonderful selection of locomotives and
rolling stock running on our preserved lines - all across the
country. Text highlights the historical background of railway
history from the earliest times right through to the 'end of steam'
in the nineteen sixties. Geoff Swaine has emerged to be a leader in
this field of photography, be it lineside or heritage working
steam. His style is one of his own, where the subject leaps from
the page, usually bathed in fine sunlight with blue sky above.
Informative captions accompany every picture not only targeting the
novice or newcomer to the subject, but the experienced rail
enthusiast will also be pleased to learn a thing or two. This book
strongly features the historical background as well as catching
some of the people who now revel in dressing the part to prove
their love of this enthralling and popular subject.
