{"product_id":"lion-anthony-dawson-9781445685052","title":"Lion: The Story of the Real Titfield Thunderbolt","description":"Best known as the Titfield Thunderbolt, Lion is one of the most beloved locomotives in railway preservation - transformed from humble luggage engine to film star, this is a Cinderella story. Built in Leeds in 1838 by Todd, Kitson \u0026amp; Laird, Lion is the only surviving locomotive built for the pioneering Liverpool \u0026amp; Manchester Railway. After a mainline working life of nineteen years, Lion was sold into industrial use in 1859. Drawing on extensive archival research and a detailed study of the original locomotive, this book explores the design and construction of Lion, as well as its career on the Liverpool \u0026amp; Manchester Railway and eventual preservation and restoration, including her several film roles. Finally, the question is asked 'How much of Lion is original?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Dawson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445685051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445685052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Anthony Dawson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072969109759,"sku":"9781445685052","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_450fd71c-9575-4bce-88f0-968011730892.jpg?v=1685445018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lion-anthony-dawson-9781445685052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
