Description

The Pacific Class: A3 Locomotives by Peter Tuffrey is a detailed and well-researched study of Gresley's iconic locomotive designs. Spanning from 1922 to the mid-1960s, this book documents many members of the class through photographs and captions. These photographs showcase various aspects of the A3s, including different tenders, colour schemes, and even trough deflectors fitted to some engines. The book also delves into the history of the Flying Scotsman, a world-renowned locomotive that underwent significant changes during its lifetime. With over 160 pages of images and captions, this lavishly illustrated book provides an in-depth look at these much-revered locomotives. The locomotives featured in the book were built and maintained at Doncaster Works, and many of the colour photographs presented here have never been seen before. This book is a fitting tribute to Gresley's great locomotives, which continue to captivate audiences with their enduring legacy.
