Railways Galore : Guide to Preserved Railways, Miniature Railways and Railway Museums in Britain and Ireland

In Britain and Ireland there are hundreds of preserved railways, miniature railways and railway museums, the majority of which are run by unpaid volunteers, without whom they would not exist.

They are also heavily dependent on the tourist, holiday-maker and day-tripper, as well as the railway enthusiast. Edited by the railway author Christopher Awdry (son of the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine), this is a guide to nearly 300 of those railways and museums.
