Great Western Railway, Southern Railway, British Railways and War Department Steam Locomotives
Keith Langston
In the age of steam, there was a strong tradition of naming engines in recognition of the military, as in Southern Railway’s Battle of Britain class of locomotives, and the GWR Castle Class, renamed after Second World War aircraft. The author, a respected photojournalist and train enthusiast, explores this history and the ongoing popularity of surviving nameplates, crests and badges, with many period images and photos of the memorabilia.
