Description
The Scottish Steam 1948-67 offers a unique insight into Scotland's railway heritage. Following the nationalisation of Britain's railways in 1948, the Scottish Region inherited over 1,400 locomotives, many of which date back to the late 19th century. This book chronicles the history of steam power in Scotland, from the early examples to more modern classes, showcasing a wide variety of locomotives across the country. The book covers the period from the late 1940s and '50s, when enthusiasts would embark on the "Grand Tour" to see Scotland's rarest steam locomotive classes, to the early 1960s, when many of these veterans were being scrapped. Through photographs and text, this new publication brings to life the story of Scotland's railway heritage, providing a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. With its chronological arrangement and comprehensive coverage, The Scottish Steam 1948-67 is an essential resource for anyone interested in steam railway history.
