Famous author, Chris Vine, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the popular series of railway books for children, Peters Railway.

2008 saw the first book published after the engineer’s love of trains, which saw him build his own miniature railway and model locomotive. It is this passion which lead him to write his own book to inspire the next generations of engineers.
