Review: train coloring book - My 6 year old son loves it but this could easily be enjoyed by all ages. He enjoys the realism. Each train has a map of the train line along with an exterior and interior coloring page. There’s a small paragraph detailing the history of the the train too. Side note: my son has autism and prefers real train images verse cartoon-like imagery. There are not many coloring books out like this one for the price. We’ve purchased at least 10 of this coloring book. Review: great coloring book! - 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.

Famous Trains More Than Meest the eye
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.

Just right for a nine year old boy
One of three Dover coloring books given this Christmas to a nine year old boy. He loves the book according to his parents. I make art boxes for little kids as gifts. Dover has a coloring book and a subject for any one almost any age that can old a colored pencil or crayon. These books given with a set of colored pencils and a pencil sharpener especially for colored pencils was the best praise and feedback I have received on a children's gift. I included safety scissors, rulers, transparent tape, child safe glue, a inexpensive drawing pad, and other items so the kids could not only color but cut out and make other items from the coloring books.

Dover coloring books are step above.
Like many of the Dover coloring books, this one is well drawn on better paper. There is a lot of information on each page about trains. Great value for the cost. Made a little boy who loves trains very happy.

Cool coloring bock for train enthusiasts!
I purchased this for my nephew who is a train freak. He loved it! It is detailed enough to satisfy an older colorer as well, but I do not think it is a good choice for very young children. I'd say pre-teen to adult. I always gift with colored pencils as they seem to be easier to use than traditional crayons. And of course, you can find many choices on Amaoz to send with your book.

Better than imagined!
My grandson is obsessed with trains. He knows EVERYTHING about steam, diesel, electric. Where the routes were and the names etc. HE LOVED THIS! beautifully illustrated for coloring. Extremely interesting historical facts. Very well done. Suitable for any age (adult as well). Any train enthusiasts would enjoy this. Can’t rave enough. A MUST BUY!
