About this copy
This is the 1976 reprint of the classic 1951 study of the design, evolution and early performance of O. V. S. Bulleid's Pacific locomotives for the Southern Railway. The copyright page confirms 'First published 1951' with 'Reprinted 1976' and a 1976 copyright notice, so this copy represents the reprint rather than the scarce original first edition. Hardcover in green cloth boards, issued with the original pictorial dust jacket showing Merchant Navy class No. 35016 on the front panel.
Includes a foreword by O. V. S. Bulleid himself, the Southern Railway's last Chief Mechanical Engineer and designer of the Pacific classes discussed.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – boards are clean and square, text block appears clean and tight in the photographed pages.
- Dust jacket
- Very Good – bright, glossy front panel with a small nick at the head of the spine and minor wear to the top corner of the rear panel; no clipping to the price area could be confirmed.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
