This was the first detailed history of the development and world-wide use of the Fairlie locomotive from its inception in 1865 to the construction of the final class in 1911. The book examines the experimental period (1865-1870) when ten locomotives were built and the subsequent era when eight British, three Continental and two railroad companies all built the engine. The book examines the construction and performance of the Fairlies and also the single boiler American Mason-Fairlies (1871-1914) and the double-boiler Pechot-Bourdons (1888-1921). Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and diagrams. 103 pages.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
