About This Item

London: George Allen and Unwin, 1970. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 163 pages. 61 illustrations. O.S. Nock recalls in vivid detail occasions when the steam locomotive in all its pulsing vibrant energy riveted our attention. He describes some of the great line-side spectacles of pre-grouping days: North Western 'Jumbos' in the northern fell country; Great Western 'Cities', Great Northern 'Atlantics', and South Western 'T9's'. He examines the features of design that made some engines so swift and others so sluggish, and throws new light on some of the great speed achievements of the past. 1. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
