5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Got this book for my brother in law, who thought he had read all the books on trains. Well I took a chance and he hadn't read this. Result. He really enjoyed it and all the stories in there he hadn't read in any other book. One Happy brother in law.

5.0 out of 5 stars My uncle loves trains, and said he really enjoyed this book.
It must have been good because I've never had favourable comments (or any comments at all) about any of the previous train based books or gifts I've given him.
3.0 out of 5 stars Old charity price tag left on
Happy enough with the book however it’s a bit cheeky to sell it for almost £13 when it was sold in a charity shop for 75p. At least take the label off properly

Ik heb dit boek besteld maar het is niet geleverd al staat er dat ik wel heb ontvangen. Heb wel een ander boek geleverd gekregen die ik had besteld. Dus ik besteld zo nooit weer iets . Ben erg teleurgesteld
Don't buy. Came in bad condition.
The book had glue and paper buts stuck to it. Cannot gift this book as a christmas present. Super disappointed.
