Boy's Toys: Trains (Boys' toys)

People have been fascinated with trains from the moment George Stephenson's steam propelled engine "The Rocket" was displayed to a public disbelieving that man could travel at the unimagined speed of 12 miles an hour. This love affair is still alive and well today. From the smoke belching giants of the early days of steam to the smooth bullet trains of the electric age, trains have been every boy's dream and ever man's secret passion. Within the pages of this nostalgic book, you will find evocative images from the Hulton Getty Collection alongside quotes from the famous and not so famous. So pull on that bell, sit back and enjoy.
