A4 Pacifics After Gresley

The Late LNER and British Railways Periods, 1942–1966

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

In the 1940s Nigel Gresley’s A4s slipped into a largely deteriorated state, with a heavy workload during the war, minimal maintenance and the death of the designer all taking their toll on the locomotives. Paying tribute to the model’s final years, this illustrated volume records its wartime role and the push for modernization that led to their gradual replacement.
