past the river. The story is illustrated with 30 watercolor pictures.

"With my own
budding train engineer at home, I can guarantee that Peter’s Railway is perfect
for young railway enthusiasts. The story and illustrations are entertaining for
younger readers, with more detail and technical information for those who might
be outgrowing the simplicity of the Thomas books."
Kid's Book Review
"This is a great
book! I love it without reservation."
Matt Mason
"That's a lot of
book for $20!! It is technically illustrative enough to make a near expert out
of anyone interested in steam."
Joe Powell
"For years I have
searched libraries-bookstores-various train magazines-the internet-etc. for
plain English technical information and visuals that would appeal to children.
My countless hours of searching and stumbling through cyberspace has produced
little. But now, after having "dug through a lot of rocks" I finally struck
GOLD in your books."
