A stunningly illustrated tribute to all things train, Locomotion celebrates the ingenuity and usability of trains past, present and future. From early steam engines through to the modern high-speed trains of today, Locomotion is a spectacular look at the history of trains throughout the world, and the wonder and escapism they evoke. Packed full of iconic trains including the famous Flying Scotsman and the grand Orient Express as well as encompassing scenic journeys like the majestic Trans-Siberian railway, Locomotion makes a stunning gift or reference book for train lovers of all ages. Beautiful artwork by the award-winning artist Ryo Takemasa, makes this book one that can be enjoyed over and over again. Alastair Steele is a railway historian, author and expert woodworker. A railway-lover since childhood, he's spent the last decade restoring vintage carriages on a heritage railway, alongside writing about the railways.

Locomotion is his first children's book, exploring famous icons of the railway world, along with some of the more 'off the beaten track' railways that Alastair loves best, such as narrow gauge and industrial lines.
 
In his spare time, Alastair plays in acoustic band, The Intention Craft, follows the trials and tribulations of Brighton & Hove Albion, and enjoys introducing his young daughter to the wonderful world of the railways.
