TORNADO: 21ST CENTURY STEAM
It’s been hailed as the Railway Book of the Year… have you got your copy yet?
National newspapers and all the major railway publications have poured praise on the definitive work on Tornado. The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust earns a substantial sum from each book sold.
A1 Steam Trust Chairman Mark Allatt wrote the foreword, and the book also carries a warm endorsement for theproject from the Prince of Wales. It is a lavishly-illustrated 208-page work that has been painstakingly researched by long-standing A1 supporter, best-selling author and "Guardian" columnist Jonathan Glancey.
Simply go onto the website www.booksontrack.co.uk to order your copy.
Something Extra Special
Even more exciting - and destined to become collectors' items in years to come – is a special run of just 163 signed copies, one for every A1, A3 and A4. They are bound in an exclusive oatmeal cloth.
A total of 161 of these books come with an individually numbered certificate signed by Jonathan Glancey, Chief Engineer David Elliott, and A1 Trust Vice-President Malcolm Crawley. They are priced at just £50, with a much larger donation due to the Trust. Many of these highly sought-after books have already been sold, but you can secure your copy by going on to the website www.booksontrack.co.uk and after selecting your individually numbered copy from the dropdown list, entering the special code A1SPL at the checkout stage. The numbered books still available are listed on this site – which is constantly updated.
