About This Item
This is a first edition (1985, Great Britain) of The Guinness Rail Fact Book, by the British railway expert John Marshall. Called 'the essential reference book for rail enthusiasts', it is 208 pages of facts and statistics on route lengths, rolling stock, motive power, tunnels, bridges and railway systems. It includes 80 photographs. There are a couple of creases and dogears but it's in superb condition.
Also included is a 5 1/8" wooden Two-Tone Steam Train Whistle, made in Poland and sold by Restoration Hardware in the '80s. It is in pristine condition.
I also include a miniature 1940 New York Hodge Steamer, which is a pencil sharpener. It's beautifully made (in Hong Kong) and is in mint condition.
Note: The stated shipping price is for North America. If you are outside of North America, please contact me for shipping options.
