This book is a compilation of the author's personal experiences in the sixties and features hundreds of previously unpublished color and black & white photos of BR steam locos. Peter Nicholson sought out BR locos wherever they could be seen starting from the usual spotters' locations on station platforms, progressing to engine shed visits and railway workshops, then on railtours and haunts away from the national networks such as the Isle of Wight and looking for former main line locos after disposal by BR in museums, on the first preserved lines, in industrial service, and awaiting their fate in scrapyards. The quest culminated in the last days of scheduled BR steam in August 1968. All photos, black & white and color, were taken in the period up to the final day 11 August 1968. In the author's case though, that last day was not on the lineside of the Settle & Carlisle with everyone else for the final special (a week after the end of regular scheduled steam services), but in the lesspublicised private yard of Corals coal merchants, Southampton Docks, where an old London & South Western Railway dock tank was still at work! The subject is strictly main line steam locos those owned or formerly owned by British Railways or its constituent companies, the Big Four (GWR, SR, LMS and LNER) and their predecessors. Surprisingly, perhaps, no other book has looked at BR steam locos in their differing environments as this would do.
