LOCOMOTIVES IN DETAIL 9: BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0

In this latest contribution to the now well-established 'Locomotives in Detail' series, author David Clarke examines the development, history and operational career of the 'Standard Fives', using a comprehensive narrative, illustrated with a superb selection of color and mono photographs and detailed line drawings. As such the book will be essential reading for all those interested in the development of BR main-line steam after Nationalisation as well as for those involved in preservation or in modeling the period from 1951 to 1968.
