Locomotives à vapeur : livres - histoire et modèles

The World's Last Steam Locomotives in Industry: The 21st Century

Poursuivant sa série très appréciée sur la vapeur industrielle dans différentes régions du Royaume-Uni, Gordon Edgar déplace son attention vers le panorama mondial captivant de la dernière ère de la vapeur dans l'industrie.
Au cours de ses nombreux voyages à travers la fin du XXe siècle et le début du XXIe siècle, Edgar a méticuleusement documenté la présence fascinante de la vapeur dans divers contextes à travers le monde, allant de l'Allemagne, l'Autriche et la Pologne à la Bosnie-Herzégovine, la Roumanie, Cuba, Java, l'Inde et la Chine.

Ce livre, enrichi de photographies saisissantes, immortalise non seulement les derniers jours de ces machines industrielles, mais il restitue également l'ambiance de leurs environnements laborieux, qu'il s'agisse de mines de charbon à ciel ouvert, de carrières, d'aciéries ou de plantations de canne à sucre.

Ce volume, qui constitue un hommage poignant à une facette cruciale de l'histoire industrielle internationale, met principalement l'accent sur des scènes capturées au XXIe siècle.

The World's Last Steam Locomotives in Industry: The 20th Century

Following on from his popular series examining industrial steam in regions of the UK, Gordon Edgar looks at a series of fascinating workings around the world during the final days of steam in industry.
Numerous globe-trotting trips in the latter part of the twentieth and early twenty-first century by the author, and other talented photographers, has produced a remarkable record of steam at work in locations as varied as Western and Eastern Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia.

With stunning, evocative photographs that capture not only the final days of these industrial workhorses, but also the atmosphere of the environments in which they toiled, including coal mines, quarries, steelworks, and sugar plantations, this is a fitting tribute to an important aspect of international industrial history. This first of two volumes focuses on scenes captured in the latter decades of the twentieth century.

European Steam in the 1970s

Le déclin brutal de la vapeur sur les chemins de fer britanniques à la fin des années 1960 a porté un coup dur aux innombrables passionnés de chemins de fer habitués à l'attrait sensoriel et au frisson de la puissance de la vapeur.
Si les chemins de fer industriels britanniques offraient une alternative modeste, ceux qui aspiraient à voyager à bord de trains à vapeur sur les grandes lignes trouvaient du réconfort en entreprenant de courts voyages vers le continent. Dans plusieurs pays européens, la vapeur a perduré jusque dans les années 1970 et même 1980.

Ce livre illustré présente une riche rétrospective visuelle, avec une abondance de photographies captivantes et inédites provenant de pays comme l'Espagne, le Portugal et l'Allemagne.

Mit Volldampf um die Welt - Dampflokpirsch mit Fernweh

Sometimes fast, sometimes leisurely - this is how people travelled in many countries around the world by steam locomotive in recent decades.
The fascination with the old steam engines led the Dutchman Edward H. Broekhuizen around the globe during this time, with destinations in Africa, Asia, North and South America, the Middle East and Europe.

On these trips, he took impressive photos of the last steam locomotives on almost every continent. He selected the most beautiful shots for this illustrated book, which commemorates the last great heyday of the steam locomotive - a must for all steam locomotive enthusiasts.

Dampf in den Swinging Sixties - Als Europa noch dampfte

In the 1960s, steam was still running on almost all of Europe's railway lines, both on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Numerous steam locomotive enthusiasts, particularly from the British Isles, traveled the continent and captured the end of the era in unique color photographs.

Pages du livre "Dampf in den Swinging Sixties - Als Europa noch dampfte"

Peter Waller, an expert on European steam locomotive history, has often travelled from the island to the continent himself. In this illustrated book, he offers previously unpublished images from a British image archive that archives and digitalises the photographic legacies of many rail transport enthusiasts and thus preserves them for posterity.

Stromlinien-Dampfloks - Die internationale Enzyklopädie

In the 1930s, progress had a name: streamline. Streamlined shapes stood for speed, power and elegance. Streamline soon became a synonym for speed around the world.
Whether it was a steam locomotive, airplane, car or bus - they all had a streamlined outer skin and shaped the image of an entire era.

This work is just as unique as the streamlined engine: in around 30 years of work, Anton von Hornstein has created an encyclopedia of all streamlined steam locomotives ever built worldwide. He traces the development from the beginnings before the First World War to its end in the 1950s.
