The DVD Book of Steam is written by Clive Groome, an ex-British Rail driver and fireman.

Though steam is no longer our main source of motive power it has lost none of its romance. How many of us have gazed longingly into the cab of a simmering engine as the crew prepare her for the journey ahead?

Packaged together with the 110-minute DVD, A Story of Steam, which charts the story of steam railways. It is the compelling and inspiring story of steam from its earliest origins, with developments of the GWR and Brunel's involvement in the creation of railways.
