An excellent publication that fills a hugely significant gap in the written history of the Talyllyn Railway. Taking the story from origins as a tramroad built to transport slate, this volume covers the early years of the railway through prosperity to austerity and the subsequent fight by the Preservation Society to develop the railway into the World Famous entity it has now become.

It is greatly detailed, and includes 400 photographs with recently discovered pre-preservation colour images - along with colour track plans and ephemera.

A comprehensive and enjoyable history of the Talyllyn Railway.
