O.S. Nock continues his account of the GWR 4-4-0s with a further
look at G.J. Churchward and his programme of modernisation and
standardisation, particularly in boiler design, and his
introduction of the 'County' class - the last of the new GWR
designs. He goes on to describe the impact of two world wars; the
implications for the 4-4-0 classes post-Grouping, with particular
regard to the Cambrian section; the start of withdrawals in the
1920s and the introduction of the 1930 hybrids, nicknamed the
'Dukedogs'. Nock's trademark detailed text, accompanied by copious
photographs and locomotive layout diagrams, includes run logs and
his descriptions of footplate trips including a notable one made on
City of Truro.
