Book Description Soft Cover Full Gloss. Condition: As New. No Jacket. ### Shire Publication ? British Railway?s Steam Locomotives by F G Cockman ? No.5 in Shire History in Camera Series ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified as: AS NEW: A new style Shire book, dated 1998 EDITION. First published 1980, second edition 1990, third edition 1998. Glossy laminated coloured cover. No bumping, maybe a minor amount of shelf wear. The spine is tight, and the inside is immaculate. ## ## British Railways' Steam Locomotives - When Britain's railways were nationalised in 1948 more than nineteen thousand steam locomotives were taken over from the private companies, and the manufacture of Steam locomotives continued until 1960. Thereafter they were rapidly displaced by diesels: and electrics, and -inA268 steam haulage on British Railways ended. This book describes the principal classes of steam locomotive working actively in Britain between 1948 and 1968, with emphasis on those types of which examples have been preserved. The author discusses the engines under the headings express, mixed traffic, tank and freight locomotives, comparing designs inherited from the GWR, LMSR, LNER and SR with the subsequent BR Standard classes. There are over 100 photographs of the engines at work. ## ### YOU MAY FIND THIS INFORMATION INTERESTING - Read on ## ## This is a new style of the Shire books, much more information, and the binding is in full colour glossy. The printing is much clearer on better quality paper, which will mean longevity in the years to come. Newer subjects and updated earlier Shire publications made it an exciting step forward. ## ### Shire Publications are a series of books that have grown from 32, 64 pages and more depending on the subject. These books offer a wealth of information, social history and local history, and other books that aren't available could be lost. New authors and new and varied subjects are always well written and researched. ## ## In 2007, the company was acquired by Oxford-based military history publisher Osprey and operated from Osprey's offices in Oxford. During 2008 Shire began a revamp of its list. Shire announced that several former Shire series: including Life Lines, Shire Garden History and History in Camera, would be absorbed into a new series called Shire Library. Retaining and expanding the numbering system used by the old album series, which has long formed the backbone of the Shire Library. Books in the Shire Library were to have a new series cover design, as would reissued books in the Archaeology and Egyptology series. Shire further announced that Shire's list of forthcoming publications would include an increased number of new titles, as well as reissues of out-of-print titles and new editions of existing titles. In December 2010, Osprey Publishing, along with all the Shire titles, was acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
