Pages: 9 (A4) / 9 (US Letter). Formats: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Most inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; the cover and a few drawings are in full colour, so print those in colour or skip them to save ink.

Every fact is written in our own words and checked against named sources from the National Railway Museum (its history pages, press releases and blog), the Science Museum Group Collection and BBC News (checked 10 Nov 2026); the sources are listed on the credits page. Where sources give different figures, each is shown with its source. Our own opinions are clearly labelled.

Drawings and charts are our own. Photos are from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons or public-domain terms, credited on the credits page. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Railway Museum, the Science Museum Group, Riley & Son (E) Ltd, the BBC, the Royal Mint or any other organisation, person or photographer named here.
