Each seemed to promise the way forward to the steam traction of the future, but many turned out, after the expenditure of much sweat and money, to be blind alleys. More than 20 of the most intriguing experiments are examined here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 216 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PSL","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (287)","offer_id":2506393878558,"sku":"9781852602697","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9781852602697.jpg?v=1616864480","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/experiments-with-steam-9781852602697","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
