Great Western, 062 Tank Classes: Absorbed and Swindon Designed Classes (Locomotive Portfolios),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
After tackling the GW pannier tanks in his Locomotive Portfolios for Pen & Sword, author David Maidment seeks out descriptions and photographs of the GW 062 tank engines, the majority of which were built by the Rhymney, Taff Vale, Barry and other Welsh railways from the last decade or so of the nineteenth century onwards. The engines of eight different companies, absorbed by the GWR in 1922, are described and illustrated, and the way in which many were modernized and rebuilt at Swindon or Caerphilly Works in the 1920s. Charles Collett was, however, faced with a motive power crisis in the mining valleys at the Grouping, as many of the companies had economized on essential maintenance as the GWs takeover drew near, and he had to hurriedly design a standard 062T to complement and bolster their work as the powerful GW 280Ts were too heavy and wide for many of the Cardiff valleys. These engines, the 56XX & 66XX classes, became part of the South Wales scene between 1925 and 1964, mainly running the coal traffic between pits and docks, although they dominated Cardiff Valley passenger services until the influx of BR 3MT 262Ts and GW 41XX 262Ts in 1954/5. The book has nearly 40,000 words of text and around 300 black & white photographs.
