This glamorous period was, unfortunately, cut short by the Second World War.With a fascinating array of historic images, Richard Denny offers a wonderfully evocative window into a unique and exciting time in Britain’s railway history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57535856050550,"sku":"9781445683997","price":11.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36842593.jpg?v=1774283377","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781445683997-pre-war-steam","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
