By: Clive Gifford | Illustrator:  James Gulliver Hancock | Series: How Things Work 

All aboard! From the fastest to the longest, the oldest to the newest, through tunnels, across bridges and up mountainsides, take a fascinating ride through the world of trains in this brilliant new book from illustrator James Gulliver Hancock.

In this follow-up to How Cities Work and How Airports Work, young readers travel through history and around the world to find out everything they ever wanted to know about trains. Unfold pages and lift flaps to reveal bustling stations, old steam locomotives fueled with coal, and high-speed trains zooming across Japan at almost 400 miles per hour!

And that's not all. See how trains reach the top of mountains, transport people under cities, and work beneath the sea. And don't forget to dress up-we'll take you on some luxurious journeys including the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok, and The Ghan, which runs all the way across Australia!

How Trains Work is jam-packed with amazing facts and awesome illustrations, and was created in consultation with Anthony Coulls, Senior Curator of Rail Transport & Technology, National Railway Museum, UK.

I wouldn't recommend it to friends.
Unfortunately, I made a fundamental mistake: I assumed that the longest containers would fit the longest baking liners currently available. Yet, I really should have measured them. Consequently, they do not meet my expectations a result of my own poor approach to the purchase. Aside from that, the items arrived undamaged, though I haven't actually removed them from their plastic packaging yet. I'll give it to someone in the family and won't give it back. I also ordered a triple dispenser in which the magnets are misaligned; as a result, the side used for loading the rolls does not close securely or properly. I probably wouldn't recommend them to anyone, but I’ve decided to keep the triple ones for myself.

Not for Costco size rolls
I was hoping to organize both Press and Seal and Parchment Paper in this bamboo cutter. Sadly, the width of the holes are too small to fit the 'Costco size' rolls of parchment aren't wide enough.

Great storage idea
I was sick of having all my bags and wrap boxes getting stick in my drawer. This worked perfect. The sliding cutters work well. Labels included. Easy to use and good quality.

useful
Works great - use it for wax paper and foil. I I can find some parchment paper in a roll this size it would be perfect

It does crack, but it’s sturdy. Weird…
We receive the product about a week ago. It was installed on the wall today. We just noticed there is a crack on it. Upon pushing the two sides together, the sides did not budge. It’s sturdy, but has a crack. Look, it’s not a big deal to me. The crack is the reason I rated this product a four star. The crack is part of the character of the product. The plastic piece, that holds the blade, moves a lot. I have to make an effort to hold the wax paper firmly on the top corner. Again, not an issue since the alternative typically causes me to have an uneven cut. At least this cuts straight across with no issues. That said, we knew going into it that this product may not fit in our drawers. The wood part is perfect, fits great. But, the blades (the black plastic sliding part) did not fit and our drawers could not close. We knew this because we measured. DEFINITELY MEASURE AHEAD OF TIME. There are multiple sizes to these products and some are deeper than others.
