{"product_id":"9780750996563","title":"Remembering Steam : The End of British Rail Steam in Photographs by Phil Braithwaite","description":"Over fifty years ago, main line steam in Britain ceased to exist: the last `official' date was 11 August 1968. At the time, British Railways' plan was that this was to be the end of steam traction - although a special dispensation was given for Britannia Class 4-6-2 No. 70013 Oliver Cromwell to travel under its own steam into preservation on the 12th and 13th of that month. We now know that this was not quite the end; that, in fact, steam locomotives would eventually return to the main lines on highly popular `specials'.   New in paperback, packed with over 200 rare photographs, Remembering Steam takes a look back at the days and years that led up to the end of steam on Britain's railways.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294632423797,"sku":"9780750996563","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780750996563.jpg?v=1762765430","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780750996563","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
