Railway Reflections - Author's summary My co-author, Ian Peaty and
I have been close friends for over 50 years. During that time we
have accumulated an enormous amount of railway photographs and
research with respect to our travels at home and abroad, both
singularly and together with our families.Although Ian has had
eight books published covering various aspects of railways and
brewing, it seemed like the time was right to share those
photographs together with the appropriate text and captions.This
book has not been written around a mountain of technical data, but
we believe contains a good balance of information to be of interest
to both railway enthusiast and those of us who just enjoy "riding
the train". After all, a railway is not just the locomotive, but
includes everything that makes the railway "tick".One of the more
important aspects of the book is that we have travelled to other
countries where the influence of the British railway pioneers is
still to be found, as I am sure that many people who are not
railway enthusiasts would not appreciate, but would be surprised
and interested to know that fact. Let's have a look at what is
included: * Some great photographs, most of which are high quality,
plus some of Ian's colourful paintings. * We cover Europe, North,
Central and South America, Africa, and Asia, which represents 34%
of the text and photos. * In a couple of instances we have looked
at countries in greater depth were there are a number of different
and interesting gauges and networks. * Photos showing signs,
notices and loco number plates. * There are also photos of railway
bridges and tunnel So, we hope we can offer a well thought out,
well balanced book that would be of interest to a broad readership
including both railway enthusiasts and those who just like
trains!To let others enjoy some of our unique photos of our railway
experiences from around the world.To hopefully kindle a lasting
interest in railways for those of us who have, to date, just taken
railways for granted. Railways are currently enjoying a renaissance
and there are an increasing number of companies now offering a
whole range of railway trips and holidays at both home and abroad.
Long may it last!
