The most interesting period in the history of the British steam locomotive was undoubtedly the 25 years of Railway Grouping from 1923 until nationalisation in 1948. P. Ransome-Wallis, well-known as an author and railway photographer, was able to follow closely British locomotive progress during these years and to record with his camera many of the most important developments. He also made a comprehensive record of the many old locomotives which were inherited by the Big Four companies. From his remarkable collection he has compiled this fascinating panorama of the evolving British railway scene in those golden years, enhanced by his own informative captions.
