In Giants of Steam, he turns his enthusiastic & knowledgeable attention to the thrilling story of the last, & greatest, generation of steam railway locomotives in regular main line service. Designed & built chiefly by the railways & workshops of Britain, France, Germany & the United States, these powerful & beautifully designed machines would take steam locomotive technology to new heights set against a backdrop of the political upheavals & military conflicts of the mid twentieth century. A celebration of the last great days of steam, Giants of Steam also commemorates the dedicated & often charismatic engineers who designed & built these effective & emotive machines & put them to use. Glancey tells the stories of the greatest of these 'steam men', among them Nigel Gresley & William Stanier in Great Britain, Andre Chapelon & Marc de Caso in France, William Woodard & Paul Kiefer in the United States & Richard Wagner & Otto Wolff in Germany. And he shows what happened as they faced up to the challenge of modernization & the notion that steam is inherently old fashioned & dirty. Giants of Steam also reveals how steam design has continued to progress against the odds in recent decades, while enthusiasm for the steam locomotive itself is far from burning out. A story of invention, skill & passion, Giants of Steam reveals how the true advocates of steam's glory days pushed its design & performance to remarkable limits. ...
