The Book of the Stanier 8F 2-8-0s Part 4- Swindon, the LNER and the Southern 48440-48633

From the longstanding ‘Book of’ series, this is the fourth of five parts set out to adequately cover the vast number of Stanier locomotives involved. In this fourth part are the rest of the locomotives turned out by the Great Western at Swindon and those appearing from the Southern and the LNER. All the usual works histories and allocations are here for every loco; liveries and tender varieties, experimental episodes and every other facet of these mightily impressive 2-8-0s, which survived to the very last days of BR steam.
