Now available in paperback, this is the first academic book to study railway enthusiasts in Britain. Far from a trivial topic, the post-war train spotting craze swept most boys and some girls into a passion for railways, and for many, ignited a lifetime’s interest. British railway enthusiasm traces this post-war cohort, and those which followed, as they invigorated different sectors in the world of railway enthusiasm – train spotting, railway modelling, collecting railway relics – and then, in response to the demise of main line steam traction, Britain’s now-huge preserved railway industry. Today this industry finds itself riven by tensions between preserving a loved past which ever fewer people can remember and earning money from tourist visitors. The widespread and enduring significance of railway enthusiasm will ensure that this groundbreaking text remains a key work in transport studies, and will appeal to enthusiasts as much as to students and scholars of transport and cultural history.
This book presents the results of the latest research into the history of Georg Fischer tinplate toys by Ernst Plattner and Michael Bowes. The authors have tried to identify all of the variations of penny toys that Georg Fischer made and shows how these models can be differentiated from those of other manufacturers. The book contains a comprehensive index of the majority of models made by the company from 1903 to 1970. The text is in English and German.
A history of antique transportation toys and the real life counterparts that inspired them. Over 300 pages of trains, trolleys, automobiles, boats, airships, and planes, all beautifully illustrated. It is an invaluable reference whether you want to start a collection or have been collecting for years. Never get caught out again not knowing what you are looking at or what you might already have. All major toy manufacturers are represented: Marklin, Bing, Carette, Gunthermann, Bub, Lionel, American Flyer, Dorfan, Fleischmann, and many more!
This is the first academic book to study railway enthusiasts in Britain. Far from a trivial topic, the postwar train-spotting craze swept most boys and some girls into a passion for railways. For many in this cohort, train spotting ignited a lifetime's interest. British Railway Enthusiasm traces this postwar cohort and those who followed, as they moved through the life cycle. As the years turned these people invigorated different sectors in the world of railway enthusiasm--train spotting, railway modeling, collecting railway relics--and then, in response to widespread grief at main line steam traction's death, Britain's now-huge preserved railway industry. Today this industry finds itself riven by tensions between preserving a loved past which ever fewer people can remember and earning money from tourist visitors.
This book brings together three subjects on which very little has been published before. Marklin Liliput trains, Marklin small buildings and the Meccano Raylo game.
