'For The Love of Trains'
All profits from Denis Dunstone's latest book, For The Love of Trains, will go to the Transport Trust.

At the end of the 20th century, there were some 2,000 locomotives preserved in Britain, some 400 miles of privately operated preserved track, and a National Tramway Museum, the envy of the world. This book reviews how this came about.

In particular, it seeks to understand the motivations of those who have made such superlative efforts, not only in building and restoring, campaigning and preserving, but also in responding to the demands of managing in an age of increasing regulation.
