{"product_id":"lion-2","title":"Lion","description":"Best known as the Titfield Thunderbolt, Lion is one of the most beloved locomotives in railway preservation – transformed from humble luggage engine to film star, this is a Cinderella story. Built in Leeds in 1838 by Todd, Kitson \u0026amp; Laird, Lion is the only surviving locomotive built for the pioneering Liverpool \u0026amp; Manchester Railway. After a mainline working life of nineteen years, Lion was sold into industrial use in 1859.Drawing on extensive archival research and a detailed study of the original locomotive, this book explores the design and construction of Lion, as well as its career on the Liverpool \u0026amp; Manchester Railway and eventual preservation and restoration, including her several film roles. Finally, the question is asked ‘How much of Lion is original?’","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315940663678,"sku":"NW9781445685052","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781445685052.jpg?v=1780682543","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/lion-2","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
