GT3 The Unrealised Dream. The Story of Britain’s Last Gas Turbine Locomotive by Tim Hillier-Graves and published by Pen & Sword in 2025 is an admirable account of a railway enterprise which was "unrealised.” The author, with extensive research and engineering experience, recounts the story of a locomotive that should have succeeded but, alas, was shaped like a steam engine rather than a new and enterprising machine like an English Electric Deltic.
The book is very well designed and illustrated though, ironically, it is presented as one of Pen & Sword Locomotive Portfolios.
This book is a delight to read with many interesting drawings and photographs and I thoroughly commend it – and it makes you think too!

A Postcard History of the Passenger Liner
From around 1880 for almost 100 years shipowners commissioned a wealth of paintings that depicted, as well as their magnificent liners, the routes they travelled, their exotic destinations, and life on board.
