| | SHOPSOILED COPY - See Sample Image for details. A detailed history of NCC locomotives has been long overdue and the task has been ably undertaken by locomotive historian and NCC enthusiast WT Scott. This detailed work covers the early engines operated by the constituents of the BNCR from 1848, though from the 1861 amalgamation to purchase by the Midland Railway in 1903. Takeover by the LMS in 1923 led to the appearance of crimson lake locomotives in Northern Ireland and modern classes such as the outside cylinder 2-6-0s and 2-6-4Ts. Contents:
