If you have just became a train addict, or know someone who is, then this is the book to have in your collection. Great pictures and lots of information to satisfy the kid in you (or whoever enjoys this). Would make a great gift for that train fanatic in your life (Which is why I bought this for my significant other).

a very good movie for the person who wants to know about the development of trains. This is not for the young child, it is very good for information for reports for school and as a teaching aid for geography or history lessons.
a good well made movie for the older person

The second episode - on the strong British Isles contribution to this advance in technology was important, my perspective had been shaped by the American Steam experience.
If you are into Steam and the Industrial Revolution - this is a 'must have' in your collection to share with your friends; or just to gain a more Global insight into this 150 years of History.
