The Glorious Years, is a collection of the best photographs to have graced the pages of the world's best selling railway magazine, Steam
Railway. Steam locomotives are intensely photographic subjects, and this superb collection of over 150 images, taken before the demise of steam on British Railways in 1968, captures the power, spirit and spectacle of a bygone era. When the railways breathed life into the urban industrial heartlands and rural landscape alike.
The contributing photographers all have one in common - a passion for their subject which is evident from the characterful portrayals of scenes that represent the heyday of the railways in Britain. Extensive captions act as a commentary providing fascinating detail and insight into each scene.
This beautifully produced book acts as fitting tribute both to the featured steam locomotives and to the dedication, skill and enthusiasm of the photographers that have traveled the length and breadth of their country in their endeavour to produce superb documentation of The Glorious Years of steam.
Steam Railway, was first published in 1979, and is the world's largest selling railway periodical. It is regarded as the very best magazine for steam pictures featuring both conventional and more avant garde photographs. The magazine covers all the steam railways in the UK, with coverage of the preservation scene and behind-the-scene articles on restoration projects.
