Synopsis
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the first railway was established in Great Britain, contributing to the country's dramatic social and economic revolution. Detailed plans were created of locomotives, carriages, wagons, stations, bridges, and tunnels to facilitate the manufacturing process and maintenance of the railway network. Miraculously, about one million of these exquisite drawings have survived and are housed at the National Railway Museum, York. In Railways: A History in Drawings , Christopher Valkoinen has selected over 130 examples from the museum's collection that illustrate the innovative history of Britain's railway. Accompanied by lively and insightful commentary, as well as contemporary photographs and posters, featured plans range from Queen Victoria's royal saloon, Stephenson's Rocket, and the Flying Scotsman to the boiler for the famous John Bull--the oldest surviving steam locomotive in the United States--and modern experiments with hovertrains. Perfect for train and engineering enthusiasts and anyone interested in British history, this compendium of drawings gives unparalleled insight into all aspects of the design and operation of the British railway system from the early nineteenth century to the 1970s., The advent of railways in Britain was a fundamental part of its economic and social revolution in the 19th century, with technical advances that were the envy of the world and chronicled from the beginning through meticulous drawings. Detailed plans were created of locomotives, carriages and wagons, as well as of stations, bridges and tunnels, to facilitate the manufacturing process and the maintenance of the rapidly expanding railway network. Miraculously, about a million of these magnificent drawings have survived and are held in the National Railway Museum in York. Christopher Valkoinen has selected over 130 examples that tell the engineering history of great innovations and triumphs, such as the Forth Bridge, and reveal the work of famous pioneers, including Richard Trevithick, George Stephenson, and Nigel Gresley of Flying Scotsman fame. Other plans range from Queen Victoria's royal saloon and a travelling post office to a station tea-room at York and modern experiments with a hovertrain. There are also drawings for railways around the world: the USA, Russia, Japan, India, Australia and Egypt, among others, as well as contemporary photographs and posters. Throughout, Valkoinen provides valuable insights into the social and political impact of the railways. He also reveals how these drawings are more than a reference tool for the historian or modelmaker; they are exquisite works of art, painstakingly produced by highly skilled artists, which can be appreciated in their own right. With 300 illustrations, Exquisite drawings oflocomotives, carriages, andstations offering unparalleledinsight into the history, designand operation of the railway.

    Items packaged poorly. Just placed in a box that figures just barely fit into with no packing material whatsoever. Corners were dinged up a bit but fortunately, items arrived mostly as good as pictured. Would not have taken much for them to be damaged with how they were packaged though. Just got lucky. Would recommend packing items a little better for others to avoid issues.

    Although the piece arrived damaged, the seller immediately corrected the issue by issuing a refund without any hassles. I always practice recording myself as I open any item and I am glad I did; the pictures and videos of the broken piece helped the seller remedy the issue quickly and very satisfactorily.

    Nice transaction! Shipped to me quickly and packaged well to prevent damage of fragile, vintage glass. However, the thing I appreciated most about this transaction is that the seller had taken the time to clean this vintage glass so it arrived to me ready to be displayed.
