Great Western Revival - GWR Locomotives in the Preservation Era

Thanks to a quirk of fate, and the survival of so many locomotives in the Barry scrapyard, the GWR is well represented in the steam preservation scene today. John Mayberry takes us through the surviving Great Western locomotives, from the Kings and Castle passenger locos through Halls, Granges and Saints and onto the ubiquitous Prairie and Pannier tanks. He also covers the narrow gauge locomotives of the Vale of Rheidol Railway, which was Britain's last nationalised steam passenger railway until privatisation in 1989. This book also covers the diesel railcars and the replica broad gauge locomotives.
