Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steam Trains and Jigsaw Puzzles strikes most people as an intriguing title. The origin is simple,however my trainspotting youth has been synchronized with a later interest in jigsaw puzzles. The result is expensive I have a collection of over 250 jigsaws depicting British steam railways. The conclusion is impossible there are over 500 steam railway jigsaw puzzles to collect and they are being supplemented annually. The Liverpool & Manchester Railway marked the arrival of the true passenger railway service in 1830 and presented jigsaw manufacturers with another subject on which to focus. Prior to this date the jigsaw experience, started by John Spilsbury in c1760, was restricted to subjects such as religion, geography, history, monarchs, the alphabet and art. Many characteristics combine to form the basis of nostalgic images buried indelibly in the minds of people who travelled in the steam railway age. Manufacturers have not been slow to tap into this nostalgia and produce jigsaws aimed at stirring those memories and inviting people to reflect on past experiences, good, bad or indifferent. Chad Valley, Victory, Good Companion,Falcon, Waddingtons and Arrow are just a few manufacturers who produced steam railway jigsaws in the past. Most of these companies are now a distant memory while others are in foreign ownership. Equally famous names such as Wentworth, Ravensburger (Germany), House of Puzzles, Gibsons, JR Puzzles and King Puzzles (Holland) continue the manufacturing tradition. Output is generally superb thanks to the efforts of fine railway artists such as Terence Cuneo, George Heiron, T. E. North, Don Breckon, John Austin, Barry Freeman and Malcolm Root. The book is aimed at anyone with an interest in jigsaw puzzles and at those enthusiasts and aficionados who refuse to allow those evocative memories of the Golden Age of Steam to die.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of naming trains has a long history. The 'Irish Mail' was known thus, unofficially, from about 1848 and the 'Flying Scotsman' from 1862. However, official recognition of these titles did not come until many years later, and engine headboards later still. The first headboards for titled trains were introduced by the North British Railway in 1912 and the last by Virgin Trains in 1996. Dave Peel's guide to the subject aims to provide a comprehensive history. It covers all named trains that ran with headboards. Differing designs are examined in detail, while variations in material, shape and style are fully explored. Over 400 outstanding photographs are included. This is an invaluable reference source for all railway historians, while railway modellers will also find it of great assistance.
