Now available in paperback, this is the first academic book to
study railway enthusiasts in Britain. Far from a trivial topic, the
post-war train spotting craze swept most boys and some girls into a
passion for railways, and for many, ignited a lifetime's interest.
British railway enthusiasm traces this post-war cohort, and those
which followed, as they invigorated different sectors in the world
of railway enthusiasm - train spotting, railway modelling,
collecting railway relics - and then, in response to the demise of
main line steam traction, Britain's now-huge preserved railway
industry. Today this industry finds itself riven by tensions
between preserving a loved past which ever fewer people can
remember and earning money from tourist visitors. The widespread
and enduring significance of railway enthusiasm will ensure that
this groundbreaking text remains a key work in transport studies,
and will appeal to enthusiasts as much as to students and scholars
of transport and cultural history. -- .
