About

A fascinating and unsentimental look at the development of British steam locomotives.

The author examines the development of major locomotive parts, materials, workshop practices and sets so-called Victorian craftsmanship in its proper perspective.  The designers themselves are also taken to task for inter-company rivalries that led to unnecessary secrecy and slowed a full understanding of vitally related factors such as valve events, timing, blast pipe dimensions, and boiler ratios.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and cutaway line drawing diagrams.
