About this copy
A softcover illustrated survey of British steam locomotive history, from the Stockton & Darlington Railway through the golden age of steam and its final decades on British Railways. Picture research by Patricia E. Hornsey. Contents cover classic locomotive types (Atlantics, Pacifics, 0-6-0s, tank engines), locomotive workshops and sheds, and the final years of steam traction.
This edition is a mass-market paperback originally priced at £1.50, as printed on the front cover. No copyright page was available to confirm the specific printing of this copy, so printing/edition status is not stated.
Condition
- Book
- Fair – a well-handled reading copy. The front and back covers show noticeable creasing and crack lines running through the printed cover stock, along with worn and rounded corners. The text block appears sound and complete based on available photos, but the cover wear is more than cosmetic.
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.
