Description
The Hall Class 4-6-0 Locomotives By Allen Jackson The Hall class 4-6-0 locomotive was a significant development in British railway history, marking the precursor to thousands of mixed traffic engines built for Britain's railways. These engines played a crucial role in various types of work and conditions, powering through World War II and providing revenue-earning services on both the GWR and BR. A total of 328 examples of the Hall class and its Modified variant survived into preservation, their story continuing with an assured future on many heritage lines. This book provides a detailed look at these locomotives, shedding light on their history and significance in British railway development. With 96 pages of information and photographs, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British railways and the Hall class locomotives in particular.
