Very informative. My son couldn't put it down. Even if you are not a train buff there is so much history within every detail.

Not bad but it felt that it was a bit cobbled together with random extras at the end
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your book. Many thanks, Alice.
