Handbook of Classic British Steam Locomotives by Peter Herring (Paperback, 2002).

HANDBOOK OF CLASSIC BRITISH STEAM LOCOMOTIVES

Britain’s railways have seen some of the most fascinating steam locomotives of an era which, beginning in the early 1800s, spanned over 150 years. From the streamlined

‘flyers’ of the 1930s, to freight workhorses and dock tanks, this compelling book profiles the variety of steam locomotives that Britain has produced. With detailed information on each period, a wealth of illustrations and a comprehensive glossary, Handbook of Classic British Steam Locomotives covers the story of the first, finest and fastest locomotives ever to run on rails.
