The Roger Siviter Steam Showcase
The Roger Siviter Steam Showcase
About this title
One of the leading photographers of the era, Roger Siviter, was able to capture many of the historic scenes of this story, ranging from the first tentative forays by King George V in the early 1970s to the wide variety of locomotives, great and small, in steam by the turn of the millennium. The story takes us around lines, some famous and spectacular, some surprisingly little-known; while the variety of locomotives, and the various ways by which they came to escape the scrapyard, could scarcely have been imagined in the closing days of B.R. steam. Roger Siviter's filmed record tells a story that evolved and grew in dozens of unexpected ways, and is here presented as a unique and fascinating record of a remarkable era.
