On the right track…
|
|
|
|
|
| |
As many of our readers know, the
senior partner at Loaghtan Books
is very interested in all forms of
transport. Electric railway, heritage
steam trains, buses – you name it,
he’ll probably know about it.
Not only is he an enthusiast, being
a retired professional engineer he is
also something of an expert. |
|
|
|
|
| |
He’s put his arcane knowledge to
good use by writing illustrated books
about some of the Manx heritage
transport systems. The junior
partner’s interest in transport runs
more along the lines of what the
vehicles look like and how much fun
they are to ride on. |
|
|
|
|
| |
In the hope of inspiring – and
educating – the next generation of
passengers and enthusiasts, Loaghtan
Books has launched a new series
‘Tram Tales of the Manx Electric
Railway’. Two of them have already
been published, the third will be out
in August. After all, why should the
steam trains have all the best stories. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Have a look through our transport
books; we hope you find something
you like. |
