The Galloping Sausage: 150 Steam Railway Events and Stories

Description:

The formative years of Britain’s railway network produced a host of ideas, activities and characters, quite a few of which now seem not only highly unusual, but sometimes little short of ridiculous. Weird schemes and designs, extravagant behaviour, reckless competition and larger-than-life characters all featured in the genuine struggle of the railway system to evolve. While the dawning of regulation and common sense brought about more uniform and responsible practices, factors like the weather and the innate complexity of railway operation continued to produce a stream of nonstandard incidents and outcomes, from wild storms to unusual equipment.This book, by ex-railwaymen Geoff and Ian Body, captures over 150 entertaining snippets, stories, and strange and unusual facts from an ample supply of railway curiosities.

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.

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.

Nice book.
