Everyone knows it had red engines, although most of them were really black, and that it operated the West Coast route to Scotland, but this is only a superficial approach. Britain's largest railway was made up from many companies, ranging from the lordly LNWR to the small, but efficient Maryport and Carlisle. It stretched from South Wales to the extreme North of Scotland, it spanned the width of the country and thrust tentacles into rival group's areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Portrait of the LMS, the authors have collected together a wide variety of photographs which show the company in both familiar and unfamiliar guise. No one aspect of the railway is emphasised above another: we have the locomotives, the carriages, the freight trains, the stations and the important, but often for-gotten section of all great railways, the road transport. The pictures have been culled from official sources and private collections; thousands have been studied to leave only the best and most representative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortrait of the LMS will provide the enthusiast with hours of pleasure and, above all, the modeller with a mass of vital information on a great railway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 18x26cm, 112 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\/Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peco","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (282)","offer_id":57138754126207,"sku":"9780900586323","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9780900586323.jpg?v=1773922904","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/portrait-of-the-lms-9780900586323","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
