T2 - Studies in popular culture LA - English PP - MANCHESTER PB - MANCHESTER UNIV Press YR - 2017 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_on1007388020 AB - Now available in paperback, this is the first academic book to study railway enthusiasts in Britain. Far from a trivial topic, the post-war train spotting craze swept most boys and some girls into a passion for railways, and for many, ignited a lifetime's interest. British railway enthusiasm traces this post-war cohort, and those which followed, as they invigorated different sectors in the world of railway enthusiasm - train spotting, railway modelling, collecting railway relics - and then, in response to the demise of main line steam traction, Britain's now-huge preserved railway industry.
