Hello and advice!
 

Hello to everyone on the site. I am looking to start looking at Steam trains and wondered if there is a good "bible" I can get to give me a good solid coverage of the subject matter? Any advice would be gratefully received

Hello Harsh2uk. Welcome to the forum. I love all things steam and there are many a good book on this fine subject. Try a visit to the National Railway Museum in York and see what your perticular interest would be. You also have the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway nearby, not massive I know but interesting all the same.
A lot would depend on your area of interest.
Hope you find what your looking for
All the best
Phil
