From the Files: An Artist Looks at Locomotive Development by Robin Barnes.
In this book, artist & writer Robin Barnes looks at locomotive development around the world over the years, considering and illustrating some 25 locomotives which actually were built, and a further 14 which never saw the light of day. There is also an autobiographical introduction, and an ‘Interlude’ devoted to the trams of Robin’s home town of Edinburgh.
Very readable, historical and technical details are provided for each locomotive or machine illustrated and, in many cases, there are secondary illustrations, be they paintings, technical drawings, or Robin’s own photographs.
