BRITISH TRAINS
Famous British Trains. By E. Barnard Way. Ivor Nicholson and Watson Ltd. 232 pp. (5/net.) Through Whitcdnibe w*d Tombs Ltd. This "chronicle of the daily work of the named expresses" has only one defect, within its limits; the coloured frontispiece is an unhappy piece of art. For the rest, it is an amply detailed, and interesting account of the history, build, running, and route of such celebrated railway trains as th- Flying Scotsman, the Cheltenham Flyer, the Brighton Belle, and so on. The •four jgreat companies and their regular e-presses are all covered; and it would be hard to find a mbre entertaining approach to the topography of England and Scotland than along Mr Way's gleaming steel tracks. He has illustrated the book with a great many very good photographs.
