Description

L.T.C. Rolt's Railway Adventure is a unique account of individual enterprise and creative effort that brought to life his dream of running a railway. Established by Act of Parliament in 1865, the Talyllyn Railway has been serving a remote valley in Wales ever since its founding. In 1950, the line was threatened with closure, but the amateur railwaymen stepped in to save it. This book is a vivid and often amusing record of their achievement, set against the stunning backdrop of the Merioneth mountains. It's a worthwhile read for anyone interested in railways, Welsh history, or the preservation of heritage. This book will appeal to both railway enthusiasts and those who love the Welsh countryside, which is beautifully described here.
