{"product_id":"9781398108882","title":"MGR Coal Trains by Mike Rhodes","description":"As electricity became more widely used to power and light Britain's towns and cities a number of municipal boroughs built their own power stations. In the early years these were inevitably fed by coal, of which the UK had a plentiful supply.   In the 1960s and early 1970s the government embarked on a programme of constructing new power stations. The majority of these were constructed with direct rail-connected on-site coal handling facilities and thus was born the Merry-Go-Round, or MGR, coal train.   The book features a UK panorama of a wide variety of coal trains on the move, with previously unpublished images from across many years and locations.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298088628597,"sku":"9781398108882","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781398108882.jpg?v=1762782402","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781398108882","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
