LOCOMOTIVES OF THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY

This is railway writing of a consistently high standard. We have reviewed other books by this author before, and this is, as expected, of the calibre one would anticipate. Highly detailed yet eminently readable, it is not merely a technical history but also includes valuable information on engine crews, engine sheds, and working arrangements. This provides insight not only into the locomotives themselves, but also into how they were operated in practice. A well-balanced selection of contemporary artwork, technical drawings, and modern photographs of preserved and replica items further enhances the text.
