Reseña del editor

The last 20 years of steam operation in Merseyside was a time when the area was the center of commercial and maritime business. A vast network of railways served this seaport, and the locomotives were serviced and maintained at seven locomotive sheds dotted around Merseyside, places of magic for the enthusiast, where the giants of steam could be viewed at close range.
