La Locomotive A Vapeur by French engineering legend André Chapelon is the landmark 2000 English-language hardcover that serious railway collectors shelve beside Kirkman and White. This 631-page illustrated treatise dissects steam locomotive theory, Chapelon’s own celebrated rebuilds, and the golden age of European transport technology without drifting into dry textbook prose.

The book arrives in very good, tightly bound condition, its pages crisp, unmarked, and free of dog-ears. A barely noticeable scuff on the closed page edge and two tiny flecks on the front blank flyleaf are the only flaws; the protected dust jacket still gleams, making the volume presentable on both shelf and workbench.

Ideal for hobby historians, young adults fascinated by true stories of industrial ingenuity, or model-railway enthusiasts tracing authentic steam lineage. Keywords like “railway,” “trains,” and “transport technology” live on every page, ensuring this collectible stays relevant to antiquarian and engineering searches alike.
