Description
A detailed history of 0-6-0 tender locomotives built by the Great Western Railway and its successors is presented in this comprehensive volume. From early broad gauge engines to the Collett 2251 class, the text describes the design, construction, and operation of various classes, including the Joseph Armstrong 'Standard Goods' and the famous Dean Goods. The book features over 250 black and white and 30 colour photos, weight diagrams, and drawings. The locomotives covered in this book played significant roles during World War I and II, serving overseas. Thirteen GW and thirteen 'Absorbed' standard gauge classes are also detailed, alongside eight GW and five 'Absorbed' broad gauge classes. The result is a thorough account of these 0-6-0 tender locomotives. The book provides an in-depth look at the engineering and operational history of these locomotives, making it a valuable resource for enthusiasts and historians alike.
