Description
GWR Locomotives: the Prairies
Allen Jackson's in-depth guide to the Great Western Railway's Prairie class locomotives is a treasure trove of technical detail and photographs. This book tells the story of the 2-6-2T tank engines, which were some of Churchward's earliest designs and paved the way for successful variations.
From their origins as a class of seventy-five engines to their development into a larger class under Collett, Jackson explores the history and use of these locomotives in various roles, including branch lines, suburban work, and banking. With profuse illustrations throughout, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the Great Western Railway's locomotive fleet.
