Enthusiast and author Michael Clemens has tapped into this with his latest release,
The Last Years of Steam Around North Wales, which contains a stunning collection of photos and information. The 70-year-old said: I was very lucky as a child and from a very early age would generally travel with my late father - C.N. ‘Jim’ Clemens 1922-1987 - on his journeys to record the railway network of Britain, from Penzance to the north of Scotland (as long as it did not conflict with school). A result over the years was that I also met his railway friends, and all the photographs in this book are taken by one of these old pals - R.E. James-Robertson.
