Description
1879 RAILROAD 1ed Model Locomotive Engineer Steam Engine Trains Railways
A rare first edition printing of the 19th century book “The Model Locomotive Engineer, Fireman, and Engine-Boy” is a historical book written by Michael Reynolds and first published in 1879. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the early locomotive engines and their inventors, charting the development of steam technology during the Industrial Revolution. In addition to a detailed historical account, the book also proposes a project for the establishment of certificates of qualification for those involved in the running service of railways, including locomotive engineers, firemen, and engine-boys. This reflects the growing recognition of the need for standardized training and professionalization in the railway industry during the 19th century.
The first edition printing of the book, which includes a frontispiece as well as 71 black and white illustrated figures of steam engines and their components, is a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of steam technology.
