Robin Jones traces the history and development of the Great Western Railway’s pannier tank locomotives, from the mid-Victorian period to the final London Underground steam operations of 1971. The book explains the evolution of the classes, their engineering features and the varied work for which they were used. Illustrated throughout, it combines technical information with operational history and photographs. It is an accessible but detailed guide to one of the GWR’s most recognisable locomotive types, useful to historians, enthusiasts and railway modellers.
