The extraordinary story of the world's most famous train.
Roden.
Medium, 246 pages + 8 pages of photo plates, hard back. ** This book is not about the world's most famous train, but about locomotive 4472. There comes a point where misusing the word "train" for "engine" causes real misunderstanding, and this is it. Fortunately the howler, doubtless perpetrated by the publisher, does not set the tone for the rest of the book, which is a decent history of the locomotive, dwelling slightly more on Scotsman's preservation history than its NER/LNER/BR service. A smartly produced volume.

(Reference #LC2311)
Price:£19.99

Robertson, K.
Large, 160 pages, photo illustrations, hard back. **A very detailed study of Bulleid's revolutionary Leader class. It had two six-wheel power steam bogies, sleeve valves, chain drive and cabs at either end and resembled a modern diesel locomotive. Unsurprisingly there were teething troubles and the decision was taken not to proceed with the class. The author has brought to light new material indicating this may have had more to do with BR's Modernisation than with the apparent unworkability of Bulleid's remarkable design.
