This is a volume in the `David & Charles Locomotive Studies' series from 1970. It is a study of these articulated steam locomotives and their manufacture. The `Fairlie principle' was that of having two boilers with a central firebox, each boiler powering a bogie - the locomotive being popularly known as a `Double Fairlie'; although single Fairlie locomotive were also built, with the front coupled wheels and inside cylinders forming a steam bogie, with the rear bogie being unpowered. The locomotives were constructed over a period of forty-six years, and in several countries. The book is well illustrated with many contemporary photographs and with drawings of the locomotives.
