Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L M S & L N E R 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. They were 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.

Book excerpt: This British Railways history explores the long-held tradition of naming steam locomotives in honor of the military. The naming of steam locomotives was a beloved British tradition since the first railway locomotives appeared in 1804. Many of the names were chosen in honor of military personnel, regiments, squadrons, naval vessels, aircraft, battles and associated historic events. This volume looks specifically at the steam locomotives with military-inspired names that were built by the London & North Eastern Railway, which joined the British Railways stock in 1948. A large number of the company’s Jubilee class locomotives were given names with a military connection, as were a small number of Black Five class engines. Famously the majority of the much-admired Royal Scot class of engines carried names associated with the military in general and regimental names in particular. Many of the nameplates were adorned with ornate crests and badges. Long after the demise of mainline steam, rescued nameplates have become prized collectors’ items. This generously illustrated publication highlights the relevant steam locomotives and explains the origins and social history surrounding their military names.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Renowned for its express locomotive Mallard setting a world speed record (126mph) for steam locomotives that endures to this day, the London & North Eastern Railway was the second largest of the 'Big Four' railway companies to emerge from the 1923 grouping and also the most diverse, with its prestigious high-speed trains from King's Cross balanced by an intensive suburban and commuter service from Liverpool Street and a high dependence on freight. Noted for its cautious board and thrifty management, the LNER gained a reputation for being poor but honest. Forming part of a series, along with The GWR Handbook, The LMS Handbook and The Southern Railway Handbook, this new edition provides an authoritative and highly detailed reference of information about the LNER.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L N E R 4-6-0 Tender Mixed Traffic Locomotives covers the design, construction, operation and performance of all 4-6-0 locomotives that ran on the London & North Eastern Railway between 1923 and 1947 and the LNER designed engines that ran on BR’s Eastern Region until the end of BR steam in 1968. This includes the former Great Central 4-6-0s of classes B1 – B9 (the B1 and B2 later reclassified B18 & B19); the North Eastern Railway B13 – B16s; the Great Eastern B12s; and the LNER B17s, the Thompson B1s and rebuilds (B2 and B3/3). The book has over 60,000 words and 350 black & white and color photographs, many previously unpublished from the archives of the Manchester Locomotive Society at Stockport. It will be of particular interest to railway modelers and enthusiasts of locomotive running and performance as well as those seeking more general locomotive history. The book is designed and written in the same style as David Maidment’s previous Locomotive Portfolio books on engines of the Great Western and Southern Railways, and includes where possible his own experiences, seeing and traveling behind engines of these classes in the 1950s and early 1960s, especially the B1s, B12s and B17 ‘Sandringhams’.

Excerpt: The LNER Class A3 Pacific steam locomotive No. 4472 Flying Scotsman (originally No. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of H.N. Gresley. It was employed on long-distance express trains on the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably on the 10am London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman service after which it was named. The locomotive is notable for having set two world records for steam traction; becoming the first steam locomotive to be officially authenticated at reaching 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) on 30 November 1934, and then setting a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive when it ran 422 miles (679 km) on 8 August 1989. Retired from regular service in 1963 after covering 2,076,000 miles (3,341,000 km), Flying Scotsman gained considerable fame in preservation. As well as hauling enthusiast specials in the United Kingdom, the locomotive has also toured extensively in the United States (from 1969 to 1973) and Australia (from 1988 to 1989). It is regarded as the world's most famous steam locomotive. The locomotive was completed in 1923, construction having been started under the auspices of the Great Northern Railway (GNR). It was built as an A1, initially carrying the GNR number 1472, because the LNER had not yet decided on a system-wide numbering scheme....
