David Maidment has unravelled the complex history of the Johnson,
Deeley and Fowler 4-4-0 locomotives of the Midland Railway and its
LMS successor, covering their design, construction, operation and
performance in this book with over 400 black and white photographs.
It recounts their working on the Midland main lines from St Pancras
to Derby, Manchester, Leeds and Carlisle, the latter via the
celebrated Settle & Carlisle line, and the later work of the
Fowler LMS engines on the West Coast main line. The book also
describes the history of the Midland 4-4-0s built for the Somerset
& Dorset and Midland & Great Northern Railways. The book
covers the period from the first Midland 4-4-0 built in 1876 to the
last LMS 2P withdrawn in 1962 and includes performance logs, weight
diagrams and dimensions and statistical details of each locomotive.
