LMS & LNER Steam Locomotives
The Post War Era
Malcolm Clegg New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
On its formation in 1948, British Rail inherited many steam locomotives from the London Midland and Scottish (LMS) and London and North Eastern (LNER) Railways. Taken after nationalization, the 400 photographs in this book depict many classic engines, including the LMS Royal Scot and Patriot classes and the LNER’s streamlined A4 Pacifics. Technical details are provided for every locomotive pictured.
Product information
Full publisher description
LMS & LNER Steam Locomotives is the result of over two decades of photographing steam locomotives in action in many parts of Britain covered by the former LMS and LNER Railway Companies, the two largest of the 'Big Four' Railway Companies which operated in Britain between 1923 and 1948. The majority of the photographs were taken during the British Railways era between 1948 and 1968.
Although the author Malcolm Clegg has a sizeable collection of steam locomotive photographs taken during this period, the photographs which appear in this book are from the private collection of his lifelong friend and family relative, Mr Peter Cookson (a retired school-master), himself a railway historian, author and amateur photographer, who has kindly provided the photographs for publication in this book.
Many of the photographs selected are rare and unusual for a variety of reasons which should appeal to railway historians and steam enthusiasts alike.
