Description

Scottish Steam, 1948-1967 presents a unique perspective on the end of steam locomotives in Britain. This period saw a diverse range of locomotives serving under BR, from old pre-Grouping engines to modern designs introduced after 1923. The book features nearly 250 superb colour and black-and-white images taken at locations across Scotland, including cities, main lines, and industrial sites. These photographs showcase the various locomotives in use during this time, such as the BR Standard Class varieties and ex-War Department 'Austerity' engines. The images have been captured at lineside, stations, sheds, workshops, and other industrial locations, offering a fascinating record of the end of steam in Scotland. By focusing on the locomotives serving under BR, Scottish Steam provides a detailed and visually engaging account of this significant period in British railway history.
