Description
The B1 Class 4-6-0 locomotive was a design that endured for Edward Thompson. Built from 1942 to 1952, a total of 410 examples were produced, and the class became a familiar sight across former London & North Eastern Railway territory. Thompson's B1s presents many of these engines in action, with over 230 excellent colour and black and white images that capture them at various locations. The photographs are accompanied by well-researched captions that provide informative details about each locomotive. This book celebrates the importance of the class in the history of the LNER and steam traction in Britain. The images showcase the B1s in different settings, from stations to sheds and lineside, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of these iconic locomotives.
