From that year, no new designs were built and the steam locomotive began to dis-appear with increasing momentum from the land of its birth. In this book, first published in 1966, the late P. Ransome-Wallis, author of many books on railway subjects, presents a well-illustrated survey of those locomotives which were operating British Railways' trains during the final years of steam. A concise history and description of each class is given in the captions, and a table of dimensions, together with an informative appendix on steam locomotive classification, help to make this book a valuable work of reference for the specialist as well as a source of nostalgic pleasure for all who have loved steam and mourn its passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback with dust jacket, 192 pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Allan","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (300)","offer_id":40527752527981,"sku":"9780711004757","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/products\/9781854224743.jpg?v=1674669904","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/the-last-steam-locomotives-of-british-railways-9780711004757","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
