The aim of this series is to appeal to readers of all ages, perhaps for different reasons...In this volume: We travel back to the year 1976 For the younger reader there are wonderful pictures of trains, real trains. There will, for example, be tank engines, steam engines, electric trains and multiple units and many more varieties besides! Some will be recognised from train sets, model railways and books, while others will be seen for the first time. For the older reader the books are designed to build into a collection placing the railway in the context of key events thus providing an historical perspective of travel in times past. For those old enough to remember the years depicted, the series will, we hope, provide reminders for many of school days, time perhaps spent train-spotting, shed bashing and generally gricing! The books also make ideal theme gifts for the year of birth, marriage, retirement, starting work and other such events in life. In the year 1976...The Cod Wars, The NEC is opened by The Queen, Hillman Imp production ends, Seychelles gain Independence from UK, Southend Pier fire, Big Ben takes a rest, James Hunt-World Champion
