| On offer at 25% discount - limited to current stocks Of all British locomotive engineers, the most influential was perhaps Sir William Stanier, CME of the LMS from 1932 until 1944, whose designs, modified and developed by Ivatt and Riddles, formed the bedrock of later British locomotive practice. Of the many classic designs produced by Stanier the 'Black 5' 4-6-0s were perhaps his most important. First introduced in 1934, no fewer than 842 of these mixed-traffic locomotives were constructed up to 1951. In the second of the new 'Locomotives in Detail' series, the authors examine in depth the development, operation and modifications of the class from its origins before World War 2 through to final withdrawal in 1968. This book is a comprehensive reference to the class aimed at both the Stanier enthusiast and for the modeller seeking detailed reference material on the class, including as it does some detailed scale drawings and fine illustrative content prepared specially for this new guide.
