Famous Express Trains - Four Coin Set

About the Design

William James, a rich and influential surveyor and land agent, was inspired by the development of the steam locomotive to suggest a national network of railways. He was responsible for proposing a number of projects that later came to fruition, and he is credited with carrying out a survey of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. To many historians he has been given the title of the “Father of the Railway”
