ON THE BACK COVER:
In the past, most railway enthusiasts were content just to collect the engine numbers of the huge variety of railway locomotives to be seen on Britain's railway network. Some enthusiasts did collect railwayana such as tickets, paperwork, books, photographs, etc, but they were very much in a minority, and those who also collected locomotive numberplates, nameplates or station totems had never had it so good. Items were often readily available and there was no real perception at the time of the value of the objects.
However, some 30 years after the end of main line steam in Britain the situation has changed markedly. Many young enthusiasts of the past still retain an interest in railways today and the railwayana market has boomed over the past decade as increasing numbers of people are looking to buy railway-related items from the past.
In A Collector's Guide to: Railwayana, Handel Kardas - the former editor of the magazine Railway World - provides a detailed and highly illustrated guide to the subject of railwayana. Individual chapters deal with topics such as tickets, signaling signs, paperwork, and so on. Each chapter is written by a leading name in the railwayana field, making A Collector's Guide to: Railwayana an excellent overview of the subject. Railway enthusiasts as well as those interested in this rapidly growing market will find this an invaluable guide to the wide range of items that are covered in the field of railwayana.
