About the Book

Stunning original full-page photographs showing steam locomotives in the beautiful British landscape.

Main line steam officially ended on British Railways in 1968. Fortunately, steam has continued on preserved railways and even on the modern main line, and the essence of everyday steam working can still be captured. Here, father and son team Robin and Tailiesin Coombes document their search for one more glimpse of the magic of steam power on the rails of Great Britain. This evocative collection of more than 120 photographs show that the majesty of steam lives on.

From express passenger trains storming up Ais Gill to quiet rural branch lines, from working steam sheds to goods trains trundling past, this book is sure to delight anyone who enjoys the sight of a classic locomotive at work.
About the Author: Robin Coombes has now returned to full-time education as a PhD Student at BCRRE, University of Birmingham researching sustainability and governance of heritage railways. Robin is a retired Chartered Architect and Consultant. He was a Rail Manager for 8 years at Network SouthEast and partner with a national architectural practice for 25 years, the last ten years as Chairman, a founding partner of the environmental and economic consultancy ERES and has served as a magistrate for 29 years. He has a lifelong passion for steam railways, traveling over one million miles, and is perhaps best known for his innovative photography for which he has won several awards and was recently invited to the US give lectures on his photography. Robin volunteers at Vintage Trains where he holds the position of Company Secretary.

Taliesin Coombes is an exploration geologist, experienced in challenging remote and independent working, across the geological and remediation industries. He has always had a love of travel and exploring the world around him. This desire to travel has gone hand in hand with his passion for photography and wanting to capture from the smallest moments to the grandest vistas which few have seen before. Photography has not just been a personal passion but a commercial one as well, running a wedding photography business alongside his other professional activities, as well as publication with a wide range of photographs winning critically acclaimed awards such as the Sunday Times' 'Take a View Young Landscape Photographer of the Year' in 2010 and being featured in National Geographic.
