The LNER V2 2-6-2 steam locomotives were relatively sleek workhorses with a light enough axle loading to enable them to work extensively over a significant proportion of the LNER network. Their design owed much to the traditions of Doncaster works.
In a detailed examination of the origins of the V2s Gavin Morrison draws upon a fascinating collection of photographs to aid the reader's understanding of these magnificent machines as a design classic. Comprehensive information is provided on construction, allocations, traffic, withdrawal and much else that will interest all railway enthusiasts.
