A Pictorial Record of British Railways Standard Steam Locomotives by Edward Talbot

Pre-owned hard back book with dust jacket first published in 1982, but this edition dating to 2000.
The new range of standard steam locomotives introduced in 1951 represented the ultimate development of the steam locomotive in Great Britain. In all 12 standard classes were planned to meet the whole of the traffic requirements of BR, but there is little doubt about the most successful of the Standard classes. This book presents a record of these engines with line drawings and 241 photographs in a landscape layout of when the locomotives were new and in service.
