Train buffs and colorists will love adding their own hues to this fine fleet of luxury railway cars--from the elegant cars of Europe's Orient-Express, which catered to passenger comfort with deluxe dining and sleeping cars, to America's Super Chief that ran on a transcontinental route between Chicago and Los Angeles.Thirty drawings depict the interiors and exteriors of such famous trains as the multicolored cars of the Hiawatha, a passenger line traveling between Chicago and Seattle; the observation lounge on the Burlington Zephyr; and a sleeping compartment on New York Central's famed 20th Century Limited.

When I first opened Famous Trains, I was disappointed. As a long time Model Railroader, I tend to be very detailed oriented. Bruce's treatment ot the various running gears at first disappointedd me. But when I examined the pictures in their total context, I must say that I am very satisfied with the product.Bruce gives us inside and outside shots of each featured train including some pictures with passengers, adding new challenges to the coloring activity. I use pencils -- mostly Crayola and Rose Art, and one set of pictures can keep me busy for several hours.
I bought this for my nephews and they adore it. They are asking me all the time to make copies of the trains so they can color them. I think it's cool that they show the insides of the train, but to be honest it's not very entertaining for kids to see a black and white page of train seats. I would of liked it just to be more outward pictures of trains. They never ask to color the inside pictures.
Nice colouring book. One of the corners was pretty beat up, when I received it. Unfortunately, I had no time to return as it is a gift and had to go back in the mail, immediately. Maybe keep an eye on the packaging next time.
I bought several Dover Coloring books for my 8 year old son, along with a package of colored pencils. He already draws such detailed pictures of trains and I thought he would appreciate these books.....they did not disappoint.The coloring books are definitely geared towards older children and are art quality...the kind of drawings I would imagine accompany the design board for a new car or product. My son is probably on the lower end of the age scale because the drawings are very detailed and require a little more advanced dexterity than your average coloring book, but he has already finished one picture and hung it on his wall...and that was the whole point for buying these.I also appreciate the descriptions that appear with the pictures...he and I are learning together about the trains and cars that are featured in the books. If you have a child or young adult who is into cars or trains and also enjoy art I highly recommend these books.
Got this for my son who is obsessed with trains. He loves it and has already memorized the info on the trains!
My 8 year old loves this. He received it as an award for doing well on his school work. He is already asking how/when he can earn other dover history train coloring books.
My grandchildren loved both books. The train book had great pictures in it and my grandson loved it.My grand daughter had tons of fun with the sticker book.
Person I gave it to loves it, and it doing gorgeous work on it. A great cross section of beautiful famous trains with some interiors.
