Synopsis

Fascinating look at how British Railways disposed of its entire fleet of steam locomotives. Based on Nigel Trivena's original books of the same title, this heavily revised and expanded version describes the entire process in detail: the dead engine movements, the storage dumps, the activities at each of the BR's yards and the private yards, chapters on the destruction of the most famous engines (e.g., the Kings and Princesses), a class-by-class analysis, the role of enthusiasts, and the miracle of preservation of some of the engines under the auspices of men such as Dai Woodham at Barry's yard. Illustrated on almost every page with black and white photos. 168 pages.
