The cover and internal appearance of this suggests that it's a lightweight, even childish, picture book with little content. However the choice of authors reveal that this is really a very good historical sequence showing the development of locomotives through a post-steam "modern" era from about 1900. The diesel and electric, even gas turbine, locos included are well chosen to show the history of technical development, even a few obscure dead-ends. ( ) no reviews | add a review
"Over 150 powerful locomotives are profiled beginning in 1879, when steam engines were already starting to phase out. Technical information on electric, diesel, and hybrids such as gas turbine is given, along with 250 illustrations of these and the models which will bring us into the future." --provided by Goodreads.
