Synopsis
Constructed over a near 40-year period, more than 340 2-6-0s were constructed to the designs of Sir Nigel Gresley, Edward Thompson and Arthur Peppercom. Amongst the great unsung heroes of railway services in northeast England and Scotland primarily, the 2-6-0s operated, until the arrival of the more powerful 'V2' 2-6-2s, the fastest scheduled freight services operated by the LNER. Designed for mixed traffic, the 2-6-0s could be found on a wide range of services, from the mundane pick-up freight to semi-fast passenger trains; indeed, it was only the crack top-link expresses that they were not expected to pull. Amongst the routes for which the type became closely linked were services over the West Highland line from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig, for which Sir Nigel Gresley designed the six-strong 'K4' class, locomotives graced with such evocative names as Lord of the Isles and Macleod of Macleod. The more numerous 'K1' class, designed by Peppercom, were amongst the last locomotives built to a design inherited by the LNER and were amongst the last steam locomotives active on North Eastem Region metals as steam rapidly gave way to diesel in 1967.
In the latest addition to the popular 'Working Steam' series, the collections of many of the most notable railway photographers in the country - such as Dick Riley, Roy Hobbs and Derek Penney - have been drawn upon to produce this pictorial tribute to the stylish 2-6-0 designs of the GNR and LNER. Incorporating some 85 colour illustrations, alongside an introductory essay and detailed captions, the book is a graphic remainder of the great variety of work undertaken by these locomotives during their long and illustrious careers. The LNER 2-6-0s have, perhaps, been largely overlooked in the vast array of information published on 20th century locomotive development; this pictorial tribute helps to put the record straight. It will appeal to LNER enthusiasts and modellers alike.About the Author
