FAMOUS TRAINS PLAYING CARDS celebrating great locomotives and the Golden Age of Railways through vintage posters, historic photographs and iconic images.
The railway transformed travel, industry and the landscape. Steam locomotives became symbols of speed and modernity, while engineers produced increasingly powerful machines capable of carrying passengers further and faster. Many were masterpieces of industrial design in their own right.
Railway companies also commissioned some of the finest travel posters of the 20th century, selling the excitement of the journey alongside the destination. Together with historic photography, they capture an age when travelling by train was an event in itself.
Carefully curated and richly printed, these Famous Trains Playing Cards bring together classic locomotives and vintage railway art in a distinctive collectors’ deck. An excellent gift for train lovers, railway enthusiasts and collectors of transport history.
