A comprehensive history of over 600 engines, from their introduction by F W Webb in 1892 to their final withdrawal at the end of 1964, less than four years before the end of BR steam.
The book covers the Webb compounds, the Whale, Bowen Cooke and Beames engines, the famous 'Super Ds', and the LMS and BR periods in full detail, as well as the 0-8-2 and 0-8-4 tanks, and the LNWR and LMS ROD 2-8-0s.
The information is based both on years of research in archives and on conversations with enginemen, fitters and Crewe-trained engineers.
The chapters are as follows:-
1 - F W Webb - The Compound Era
2 - George Whale - Compound to Simple
3 - C J Bowen-Cooke and H P M Beams - The Superheater Era
4 - LMS and BR
5 - Technical Aspects
6 - Tenders - A Survey
7 - Allocations and Work
