This collection of images chronicle steam railways in Scotland, generally during the British Railways era, and particularly during the last complete decade of steam between 1955 and 1965. The photographs (all taken well before the digital age) have been especially selected to show the wide variety of Scottish based steam locomotive types at work and on shed at locations throughout Scotland, which vary from inner city to country branch line. David Anderson’s black and white images are a truly remarkable record of the age and they are complemented by carefully selected additional images by other notable photographers and accompanied by appropriate words supplied by railway author Keith Langston. AUTHOR: David Anderson is a hugely respected railway author, especially in his native Scotland. He has written hundreds of articles for many railway and steam magazines along with creating a vast archive of rare images. Further content will be supplied by Keith Langston, also a widely respected railway author. 150 illustrations
