Description
A train journey takes readers on an international trip through the history of trains and brings locomotives to life in 3D detail. Created by paper engineer and art director Gerard Lo Monaco, the adventure begins in 1829 with Robert Stephenson's Rocket, the most advanced locomotive of its day, which ran on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The journey continues through Manhattan's elevated railway and the trains among New York's skyscrapers in 1900, the 1920s Flying Scotsman with its non-stop London to Edinburgh service, and the glamour of the Orient Express between Paris and Istanbul. Finally, a sprint to the present to see Japan's Shinkansen and China's CHR 400 high-speed trains, traveling at 320 km/h! Designed in a beautifully layered pop-up format, with information about each train built into the artwork.
