Branch Lines of the Chester & Holyhead Railway
Explores the history and decline of branch railways in north Wales, focusing on their construction, operation, and eventual closures.This book complements the author's previous book on the Chester and Holyhead Railway and completes the story of railways associated with the London and North Western Railway in north Wales. It does so by breaking down developments to three districts working from east to west across the region. The book examines the background to the construction of the branch lines in the context of relevant wider railway developments. It provides an account of the operation of each of the lines with reference to significant incidents on the railway and the relationship of the branch to the communities it served.The dominance of railways peaked around 1914 so the book analyses the process of decline from that status. That decline was relatively rapid and featured several rounds of closures of stations and branches, culminating in the notorious Beeching cuts of the 1960s that eventually left north Wales with fewer than fifty miles of branch railways - under 20% of the original total.The book has maps and tables that provide an overview of the detail contained in the text and the 150 photographs. The book concludes with an overview of the railway system in north Wales. It reflects on how reductions might have been made without depriving so much of the region of a presence on the network, and how the railway policies adopted by private companies and the later nationalized industry paid too little attention to the relationship between the region and its trains.
Foreign Engines, American Roads
From steamships to superchargers, Foreign Engines, American Roads is the definitive narrative of how imported cars reshaped the American landscape. This sweeping, century-long chronicle explores the evolving U.S. appetite for European and Japanese vehicles-from the first Benz delivered to New York in the 1890s to the electric and autonomous marvels now assembled in Tennessee, Texas, and beyond.Along the way, the book charts how imports challenged Detroit's dominance, redefined performance and prestige, and forged a passionate culture that spans concourse lawns and street circuits alike. Fact-rich yet elegantly told, it is a story of machines, makers, and the millions of Americans who made room in their garages-and their hearts-for something foreign.

Coachbuilt Rarities
Across more than a century of automotive history, a rare breed of automobiles has emerged not from production lines but from workshops-one at a time, by hand, and to order. Coachbuilt Rarities: One-Off Masterpieces tells the story of these singular machines, from the haute couture bodies of interwar Paris and Turin to the wind-tunnel-sculpted Ferraris of the 1960s and the visionary Rolls-Royce commissions of the 21st century. With a fact-based narrative and global perspective, author Etienne Psaila traces how designers, engineers, and patrons collaborated to turn motoring into personal expression.Whether born from competition, royalty, or fantasy, each car reveals a moment when imagination triumphed over convention, and artistry met motion. This is not a catalogue, but a living, driving history-rich in technical detail, cultural context, and visual splendour.

The Evolution of the British Roadster
From the rattle of an MG M-Type on a 1930s back lane to the howl of a TVR Griffith on a Welsh mountain pass, The Evolution of the British Roadster tells the complete, fact-based story of Britain's most beloved sporting machines. This compelling narrative history traces the rise, heyday, and gradual decline of lightweight two-seaters built for joy rather than utility-icons like the MG Midget, Triumph Spitfire, and Austin-Healey Sprite. Rooted in postwar optimism and built with simplicity, flair, and often just a little oil on the driveway, these cars conquered not just British B-roads but American highways, Alpine rallies, and club racing paddocks.Drawing on decades of manufacturing milestones, competition history, and ownership culture, the book explores how these open-top machines shaped Britain's image abroad and ignited a passion for driving at home. It is a chronicle of engineering ingenuity, export ambition, and the grassroots spirit that kept these machines alive long after their factories fell silent. From kit car rebels to MX-5-inspired revival attempts, the story continues-one cylinder, one Sunday drive at a time.

Standard Vanguard Cars
This is the complete story of a successful range of cars produced by the Standard Motor Company between 1946 and 1963. The author describes the various phases of model development of a range of cars that proved to be robust, innovative and popular. The book covers saloon and estate versions as well as sports and commercial models. Also covered are the economic Ensign models and the luxury Vanguard Six Model which incorporated a six-cylinder engine that would later power the Triumph 2000. The book includes a short history of the Standard Motor Company, which would later change its name to Triumph. The Phase III Vanguard cars were designed by the Italian car stylist Giovanni Michellotti who would be responsible for the design of the Triumph models. Illustrated with both contemporary and current illustrations, this book is a fascinating insight into a popular range of British family cars of the 1950s.
