Four days into the trip she struck an iceberg and sank, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The world s most famous passenger liner set sail for New York with 2,223 people on board; the high casualty rate was due partly to the fact that she carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people. Titanic was designed by some of the world s most experienced engineers and used some of the most advanced technologies available. It was a great shock to many that her maiden voyage ended in such tragedy.

Others may try a Driver s Experience day offered by many of the preserved lines. But, as this programme shows, anyone can become an engine driver. The key ingredients are commitment and enthusiasm.

As well as showing life on the footplate at Swanage, we also feature scenes from the small locos that gently run up and down the line as part of the Talyllyn Steam Railway.

Packed with wonderful photographs, illustrations and diagrams this little book covers such matters as maintenance, lubrication, different braking systems and valve gears, efficient firing, footplate controls, basic railway signalling, and much more. Whether you are an established driver wishing to brush up on your locomotive knowledge, an armchair enthusiast, or a would-be preservation volunteer, this is the indispensable aid to safe and successful steam locomotive driving and management.

Using challenging aerial photography, the series shows the islands in a dramatic new light, from some of the remotest islands in the UK, to some that are within easy reach of Scotland s mainland cities. The series is written and narrated by popular Gaelic broadcaster John Carmichael. John explores the geography and natural history of six different island groups. The Orkney Isles - Orkney has been inhabited for at least 5,500 years. Originally inhabited by neolithic tribes and then by the Picts, Orkney was invaded and finally annexed by Norway in 875 and settled by the Norse. It was subsequently re-annexed to the Scottish Crown in 1472, following the failed payment of a dowry for James III s bride, Margaret of Denmark. The Shetland Islands - The Shetland Islands comprisies more than a hundred islands, (just 15 of them inhabited), that span the hundred miles (145km) between Fair Isle and Out Stack, the northernmost point of Britain. This bustling archipelago of 22,500 people boasts abundant wildlife, a spectacular coastline and dozens of major archaeological sites. The 567 sq. mile (1468km²) county of Shetland is an entrancing mixture of Scotland and Norway. ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND LITTLE BOOK: Ringing the coasts like a gorgeously jewelled necklace, the islands of Scotland form one of the country s most precious assets. Numbering nearly 800 in all, the islands fall mainly into four major archipelagos the Inner and Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland but many others are to be found clustered round Scotland s west and east coats. And each island, whether inhabited or devoid of human presence, has its own character, landscape and natural wonders. Island-hopping visitors may find majestic mountain ranges, long, lonely and golden beaches, vast wild moorlands and bustling, tourist-friendly towns. Hikers and ramblers, while taking in vistas of awe-inspiring beauty, can discover magnificent flora and fauna and ancient reminders of the isles veiled past. Islands of Scotland starts with a discussion of the islands intriguing histories and a look at their geographical wonders. It goes on to examine each of the island groups in turn, from the Solway Firth in the south-west to the better-known Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland to the west and north, finishing with the rocky skerries that dot the Firth of Forth in the east. Each chapter covers the landscape, people, culture and natural treasures of an island group, evoking the mysterious beauty of places that have drawn humans for millennia.

LITTLE BOOK OF ANCIENT ROME: For more than a thousand years the city of Rome stood on the banks of the River Tiber. Ruled by a succession of kings, consuls and emperors the most powerful city in the world sent out armies to conquer the entire known world. Whether the enemy was a Greek city state, a Celtic king, an Egyptian queen or an Eastern monarch they all fell before the all conquering might of the Roman army. Behind the military conquests stood a sophisticated civilization that boasted the finest culture that ever flourished. There were palaces of exquisite beauty, theatres of famed splendour and temples of lavish decoration. The Romans valued subtle literature, delicate mosaics and fine statues. Yet they also watched bloody gladiator fights, gloried in fake animal hunts and sent men to their deaths in chariot races. Although Rome dazzled the world with its power and splendour, it contained within itself the causes of its own destruction. Rome may have finally fallen to barbarians from Germany, but it had for years been teetering on the edge of disaster. Author and celebrated historian Rupert Matthews details the glory that was Rome - how it grew and why it fell.
