During the lock down I have taken to re-reading the books written by C. Hamilton Ellis and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Given that his style would now be considered somewhat dated and representative of a bygone privileged background I just wonder how many others on the forum might share the same opinion. An example of a very good read is his book on the London Midland & Scottish railway, packed full of detail and historical account and written with a great sense of humour
I ve got Some Classic Locomotives and The Trains We Loved . Can t say I find his style dated, though the classic locomotives are!
