Little Book of Steam tells the evocative story of steam railways from the end of the 18th century, when an early pioneer built a small, three-wheeled steam-powered machine. Soon after a simple steam engine was pulling coal wagons in Wales, & just 21 years later the world's first public railway opened between Stockton & Darlington. By the 1960's steam engines were on their way out to be replaced by the less romantic diesel & electric locomotives.

For almost a century, the UK's road network rumbled to the sound of haulage & delivery vehicles almost exclusively made up of trucks built on home soil. From the 1920s right through to the 1960s, British manufacturers became renowned for their production of reliable workaday lorries & quite rightly earned a reputation for quality engineering. The likes of Albion, Commer, Foden & Scammell would eventually become household names, contributing to the country's economic growth. Yet in the 21st century, a truck proudly carrying the badge of a British company is seldom seen & furthermore it is even rarer to find one that has actually been built in this country. Only the very few such as Leyland & Dennis have survived the test of time, albeit in the form of subsidiaries to larger organisations. With over 100 previously npublished images, the Little Book of Trucks charts the history of the King of the Road, from the humble steam wagon to giant diesel-powered articulated juggernauts. ...
