British Railways Steam Locomotive Allocations 1948-1968

A comprehensive companion volume to Hugh Lonworth's British Railways Steam Locomotives 1948-1968, this latest title provides a locomotive-by-locomotive allocation record from 1948 to 1963.The follow-up to one of the most successful reference books produced by Ian Allan Publishing's OPC imprint in recent years, this book provides a class-by-class, locomotive-by-locomotive record of each steam locomotive that was in service on 1 January 1948 as well as all those that were built between that date and 1963. Drawing upon six vital years in the steam era, the book provides a locomotive-by-locomotive allocation record, including distribution maps to illustrate how each individual class was allocated during the relevant years and a shed-by-shed listing for each of these years. Although the book is primarily designed as a work of reference with detailed tabular matter, there will also be a range of illustrations portraying typical examples of the locomotive classes featured.
