About this title

Synopsis

The LMS Royal Scot 4-6-0s are regarded by many authorities as the finest 4-6-0s ever built in this country, particularly after their rebuilding by Stanier. Even in their original form, they put up some superb performances and undertook prodigious feats of load haulage. In this book, four authors who were closely concerned with the day-to-day running, maintenance and performance of these engines, E. S. Cox, Dr. W. A. Tuplin, A. J. Powell, and Driver P. G. Johnson, trace their history and recall some of their exploits. The text is accompanies by a fine selection of photographs, including some rare shots of various experiments carried out with individual engines of the class. Contents: Introduction; Mechanical Development by E. S. Cox; A Critical Appreciation by W. A. Tuplin; Performance in Service by John Powell; Footplate Impressions by Peter G. Johnson; Appendices: Dimensions, Performances and Names and Important Dates
