Trade Review
'Incredibly detailed yet a very readable account, I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the history of railway engineering.' -- The Writing Desk, January 2024
'We all have our different views of the man who worked (and smoked) himself to an early death, but the author reminds us of the remarkable legacy left by, arguably, the greatest of British engineers. Highly recommended.' -- Model Rail Magazine, February 2024
'Iron, Stone and Steam is also the story of the great engineer’s complex character and the roles of the people who helped the creative, and sometimes dictatorial, genius create his railway.' -- West Country Life Magazine, January 2024
