Publisher Description Operating a railway day in, day out with steam traction was never easy and the fells of north-west England presented an additional, huge natural obstacle. There were the fearsome gradients on the trans-Pennine route up to the 1,370 feet high Stainmore summit, the 15-mile slog of the 'Long Drag' from Settle Junction to the boggy wastes of Blea Moor was legendary while the tortuous climb from Oxenholme to Grayrigg was a huge challenge to enginemen. Perhaps the best-known ascent was that up to Shap summit where the constant procession of heavy goods trains required assistance and a railway community was established around the station and shed at Tebay where banking locomotives were available around the clock. Bystanders were transfixed, and terrified, bleating sheep ran for cover as locomotives passed by at walking pace belching smoke high into the moorland air. Using some of the finest action photographs available, this album vividly brings to life the great age of steam in the fells.112pages Hardback Details ISBN 185414457X ISBN-13 9781854144577 Title Steam Around the Fells Author Michael Welch Format Hardcover Year 2021 Pages 112 Publisher Capital Transport Publishing GE_Item_ID:172587956; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!

Like new condition, safe packaging, good communication from seller. Fair price for the quality. Shipping was on time, but tracking information took over a week to receive. The book was as-described with minor cosmetic flaws (indentations in some pages, for example). I wish the listings showed the actual item being sold to you instead of just an accurate stock photo. This edition and appearance of George Orwell's 1984 here is a nice pocket-sized hardcover. I would buy from this shop again.
The two new out-of-print books I ordered were exactly as described and shipped promptly. I did ask the seller's support person (an AI chatbot, I think) to be sure to package the items carefully, and "he" said that he'd make that request of the shipping department. I knew this was hooey, and as I expected, the books were shipped in nothing but a padded paper mailer, no other protection. I got lucky, no damage, but don't bother making special requests of this seller.
Lightning fast shipping. Item arrived before the delivery date, perfect. Item arrived carefully packaged and was exactly as described. Very pleased. Great communication throughout the process. Very attentive to detail and responsive. Will buy from again! Had a small issue with the item, but the seller resolved it quickly. Great customer service! The seller went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Highly recommended!
