London Midland Steam 1948 to 1966
London Midland Steam 1948 to 1966
- A fascinating collection of hitherto
unpublished black and white photographs by former Senior British Medical Council researcher, Ben Brooksbank.
- Over 275 photographs are included.
- The photographs show remarkable clarity even though photographic materials were difficult to obtain during the immediate post-war period.
- Many different classes of locomotives are featured, ranging from the old Midland and LNWR engines ready for withdrawal in the late 1940s, the ex- MR Johnson 0-6-0s which would survive a little longer, the Fowler classes quietly going about their business, the Stanier Class 5 and 8Fs covered in grime, but still efficient, while a bit of 'glamour' is provided by (some) neatly turned out named 'Jubilee' 4-6-0s and 'Coronation' Pacifics. The next generation of locomotives - the BR Standards - also appear, with the 'Britannia' Pacifics included along with Class 5 4-6-0s, Class 4 4-6-0s, Class 4 2-6- 0s, Class 3 2-6-2Ts and the heavy freight 9F 2-10-0s.
- Photographs have been taken from the line-side, on station platforms, on shed, around a number of Works and along lines which have long since disappeared.
- The captions are well researched and include locomotive details as well as historical information about the various routes, stations and other architectural features
