5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful, Detailed Reference Book

L.E. · July 13, 2025

Just get this book. I knew that DK produced excellent books, but this is just stellar.I thought that this was a children’s book, with solid, simple information. But what the heck. I got it thinking it would at least have cool pictures for reference for modeling, and some solid basic facts. But it’s not a kids’ book at all.It’s more like a museum in a book. It’s divided into sections like steam, the golden age, war and peace, etc. The photography and printing are beautiful, and there’s tons of dense information on every page. It feels like walking through galleries of a great railroad museum.If you or someone you know has even a passing interest in railroads, history, technology, design, etc., this is a must have.Also, in spite of it not being a “children’s book,“ there’s not a child out there who wouldn’t enjoy it. Even a toddler would love all the photos.Now I’m wondering about all the rest of their books. Yikes!
