The Wonder Book of Railways, front cover [image info]

The Wonder Book of Railways (edited by Harry Golding F.R.C.S., published by Ward, Lock & Co. Ltd.), featuring a colour image of the Coronation Scot in the USA on its 1939 tour.

The book's glossy front cover, and its extended wraparound dust cover, both show the red Coronation Scot train on American track, complete with headlight and bell, with the dustjacket back cover showing more of the image, including a black streamlined US locomotive with a cone-shaped nose.

This presumably dates the edition to 1939, or to not long after.
