Andrew Grant Forsyth's photographs show the changing locomotive
scene throughout Scotland after the nationalisation of the railways
in 1948. Forsyth visited Scotland almost every year, and between
1948 and 1966 he was fortunate to be able to photograph the
graceful-looking ex-Great North of Scotland 4-4-0s, the ex-North
British Railway 'Glen' and 'Scott' 4-4-0s, the Caledonian 4-4-0s
and numerous 0-6-0 and tank locomotive classes remaining from both
those companies. Also reproduced are many examples of the London
and North Eastern Railway express locomotive fleet, together with
locomotives of former London Midland and Scottish Railway and
examples of the post-nationalisation Standard locomotives of
British Railways. Scottish Steam 1948-1966 is a stunning collection
of Andrew Grant Forsyth's photographs, providing a unique insight
into a shifting time.
Andrew Grant Forsyth's impressive catalogue of previously
unpublished photographs portrays the work of locomotives from all
parts of the former LNER territories between 1947 and 1958. On
trips to sheds and stations across eastern England, he photographed
a wide variety of stock, including the former Hull and Barnsley
Railway tanks, North Eastern Railway 'Q' Classes, Nigel Gresley's
Class A3 and A4, and the Arthur Peppercorn 'Pacifics'. From
Newcastle to north London, East and North Eastern Steam is a
valuable collection that provides a unique insight into the
changing scene of locomotive power in the mid-twentieth century.
