Description
Gresley's A4s is a comprehensive collection of over 300 images showcasing the world-famous Pacific locomotives built by Sir Nigel Gresley in the mid-1930s. The book features photographs of every locomotive in the LNER and BR periods, including those that were renumbered in 1946.
These iconic engines are captured at major centres on the East Coast Main Line, as well as in Scotland during their twilight years. Many images show the locomotives in operation, working famous trains such as the 'Silver Jubilee', 'Coronation' and 'Flying Scotsman'. The book also includes pictures of the engines being serviced or under repair at workshops.
Accompanied by informative captions, Gresley's A4s provides a detailed look at the history of each locomotive and the class as a whole. With its extensive collection of colour and black and white images, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in technology and engineering, particularly those with a passion for locomotives.
