Description

The Brighton Atlantics: A Century of Engineering Excellence The Brighton Atlantic locomotives are renowned for their striking design and impressive engineering. Produced at Brighton Works, these machines were signed by D. Earl Marsh, Locomotive Superintendent of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. Two classes, the H1 and H2, were introduced in 1905-1906 and 1911-1912 respectively. The Brighton Atlantic type has maintained a loyal following among model engineers for over a century, with many fine examples of models being constructed in various scales. The Bluebell Railway's current project to construct a full-size replica of the last H2 Atlantic is generating significant public interest, highlighting the enduring appeal of these locomotives. This book provides a unique opportunity for enthusiasts and modellers to learn more about this iconic design. With no existing books available on the subject, this publication fills a vital gap in the market, offering valuable insights into the history and construction of the Brighton Atlantic locomotives.
