| The Steam Locomotive |
-- The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick in the United Kingdom, and on February 21, 1804, the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren ironworks, near Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales Accompanied with Andrew Vivian, it ran with mixed success.
Read: The Steam Locomotive: An Engineering History
-- Books on railway history invariably start with the Stephenson's or Richard Trevithick's locomotive of 1804. Still, the story begins much earlier with the development of steam engines for pumping out deep mines. Ken Gibbs, a retired engineer who served his apprenticeship in the Swindon Works of British Railways, takes a more practical approach to railway history, using its engineering developments to tell the story of the railways. From the first ideas to the development of better metals, manufacturing, technology in wheel casting, improved boilers, and valve gears, his book is a refreshingly different approach to the plethora of picture books showing branch lines in days past

| The Locomotive Pioneers |
-- This fascinating book explores the development of locomotives over fifty years. From Richard Trevithick's first experimental road engine of 1801 up to the Great Exhibition some fifty years later, locomotives have come far in re-imagining and reinventing themselves to serve the people and British industry.

| Steam Trains: The Magnificent History |
-- Colin Maggs tells the story of the steam engine from pre-Rocket days to British Railways building the Evening Star, the last main-line locomotive, through to the preservation movement and the new-build locomotives of extinct classes such as the Tornado. In this comprehensive history, Colin Maggs, one of the country's foremost railway historians, tells of other, perhaps less well-known aspects of the history of steam in Great Britain.
