The book concentrates on the London Midland Region in the final
years of steam traction covering the period 1948 to 1966. All major
London Midland Region towns and cities are represented. - A
fascinating collection of hitherto unpublished black and white
photographs by former Senior British Medical Council researcher,
Ben Brooksbank. - Over 275 photographs are included. - The
photographs show remarkable clarity even though photographic
materials were difficult to obtain during the immediate post-war
period. - Many different classes of locomotives are featured,
ranging from the old Midland and LNWR engines ready for withdrawal
in the late 1940s, the ex- MR Johnson 0-6-0s which would survive a
little longer, the Fowler classes quietly going about their
business, the Stanier Class 5 and 8Fs covered in grime, but still
efficient, while a bit of 'glamour' is provided by (some) neatly
turned out named 'Jubilee' 4-6-0s and 'Coronation' Pacifics. The
next generation of locomotives - the BR Standards - also appear,
with the 'Britannia' Pacifics included along with Class 5 4-6-0s,
Class 4 4-6-0s, Class 4 2-6- 0s, Class 3 2-6-2Ts and the heavy
freight 9F 2-10-0s. - Photographs have been taken from the
line-side, on station platforms, on shed, around a number of Works
and along lines which have long since disappeared. - The captions
are well researched and include locomotive details as well as
historical information about the various routes, stations and other
architectural features
