An A-Z of Famous Express Trains is an unashamedly nostalgic journey back to the golden days of the 1930s and 1950s, featuring trains such as the 'Atlantic Coast Express', the 'Royal Scot', 'The Bristolian' and 'The Elizabethan'. These trains were actively promoted on posters and in other colourful publicity material including luggage labels, restaurant car menus and fold-out route leaflets - all designed to lend an air of glamour and romance to these high-speed train services. Over 120 of the named trains will be covered and no other title provides such comprehensive coverage of these iconic expresses. Illustrated with many colourful images from the author's collection of railway ephemera, An A-Z of Famous Express Trains is a treat for all railway enthusiasts.
