Michael Clemens and his late father lived in Worcestershire but travelled all over Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, from Penzance to the north of Scotland, filming many now long-closed railways and the steam locomotives that worked over them. Their movie film collection, the largest of its kind in the UK, has been released by the author on forty videos starting in the 1990s. The first volume of still photographs was published in 2007 and this is the author's fourteenth book. The author's website can be visited at www.michaelclemensrailways.co.uk and contains many hundreds of pages of railway memorabilia.
