Trains, Planes and Automobiles offers a window into the lives of men who devote so much of their time to machines, such as canal boats, steam trains, motorbikes, space rockets, cars and diggers. This story is not only about the inventors, but also the modern-day enthusiasts behind the machines. By the end of his journey, will Dan be able to fly a plane, drive a steam train and operate a digger along with the best of them? Will he merely understand these men and their all-consuming passions, or will he in fact have become one of them? |
