A superb album of black & white photos of Southern Railway Merchant Navy Class locos. For each loco there are a few pages of photos, mostly taken in the 1950s and 1960s.
The photos are arranged by local number in numerical order starting with the locos in unrebuilt condition followed by the rebuilt examples. Most of the photos are of the locos hauling trains on the London Waterloo to Weymouth and Exeter routes, including famous trains such as the “Bournemouth Belle” and the “Atlantic Coast Express”, and there are also a few of the locos on shed and on the South Eastern Division shortly before the launch of the Kent electrification scheme.
112 pages. Around 150 photos. Softback.
