Book Description
The Talyllyn Railway is not only one of the world famous Great Little Trains of Wales, but was the first railway in the world to be owned and operated by volunteer labour. As such it was the forerunner of most of today's heritage railways. This book, compiled by James Waite, a renowned photographer of narrow gauge railways, takes the reader on a full colour photographic journey from the line's headquarters at Tywyn Wharf through the splendid Mid Wales countryside to the terminus in the forest at Nant Gwernol.

Book Description
This new history reveals the previously untold story of why and how trains have been used to transport the dead, enabling their burial in a place of significance to the bereaved. Profusely illustrated with many images, some never previously published, Nicolas Wheatley's work details how the mainline railways carried out this important yet often hidden work from the Victorian age to the 1980s, as well as how ceremonial funeral transport continues on heritage railways today. From royalty, aristocrats and other VIPs (including Sir Winston Churchill and the Unknown Warrior) to victims of accidents and ordinary people, Final Journey explores the way in which these people travelled for the last time by train before being laid to rest.
