I liked the little shadows under each train against the white page to add a sense of weight. I did this on the 10 inch tablet and the print was just big enough for these old eyes, so wouldn't recommend the digital version on anything smaller. The layout is retained from the print book so you can't pop out the pictures to full screen, but pinching and sliding works well enough.Many pages feature half a dozen or more trains with a little heading paragraph about the category and some information about each one. This is more of a picture book than a reference book on these pages which form most of the book. There are expanded sections about individual trains and lines that are quite interesting with a fair amount of text and lots of lovely pictures.This is a take your time book that does require lots of zooming on the digital version. Worth the time and effort for a pleasant experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitive *by on Reviewed in the United States January 3, 2020* DK is notorious for the high quality visual guide in several subjects - it means the main message is given by high quality printed images. This book isn't an exception: the images will talk the history by themselves - it is an Historical Visual Guide to trains!There are lots of color images and schematics including particular details that is the second best thing after to have the actual machines available for your explorations. There is a small section at the end of the book with a technical overview on tracks, brakes and engines.The texts complement cleverly the great images.Highly recommended if you are interested on trains. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book for our train lover *by on Reviewed in the United States February 24, 2023* This is a book for adults but our five-year-old grandson is obsessed by trains, and this is an amazingly comprehensive and visually beautiful book which he will enjoy for years. He never gets tired of having it read to him and the pictures are beautiful. From the Smithsonian Museum, this book should delight the enthusiast. I’m super glad I found it for him. He stopped opening gifts to “read” this book. Enough said. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://liechtenstein.desertcart.com/products/6581364-train-the-definitive-visual-history](https://liechtenstein.desertcart.com/products/6581364-train-the-definitive-visual-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Liechtenstein* *Store origin: LI* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
