This reviewer found this volume to be both informative and well-written...
This volume is likely to appeal to several different groups. These could include devotees of the LMS and those with an interest in both British Railways (the LMS successor) specifically, and British rail transport in general. Railway modellers and artists interested in ‘trains’ are likely to find the images and diagrams informative. Transport historians interested in British transport history and the machines that were employed could also find it worthy of their attention. Engineers with an interest in turbines and turbine development vis-à-vis rail transportation might also find the volume of interest.

The visual part of the work is very refreshing, a selection of 54 black and white images and 101 full colour will delight all lovers of photography.
Superb and careful work with an impressive visual file.

The work is magnificently illustrated, like all that make up this series spoiled by Pen & Sword Transport. 61 photographs in colour and 163 in black and white compose the visual file along with two planes with diagrams, weight, measures and load capacity of both Classes.
A magnificent book both visually and historically speaking.

Many famous names have included aspects of the railways in their paintings, including most notably Claude Monet and J M W Turner. This enthusiasm has been kept alive by the formation in the UK of the Guild of Railway Artists, of which there are over two hundred members… Read more...

It has travelled across the USA and steamed across Australia, changed owners and colour… Read more...
