Excellent hardback book featuring close on 200 colour illustrations and descriptions of locos from Stephenson's Locomotive No 1 in 1825 up to the Evening Star in 1960. In very good condition with original polythene cover. Annotated with the original owner's handwritten name and address on the inside front cover. Pages slightly yellowed but in good condition and well bound. There is a polythene weather cover (the owner lived in Crewe, as do I, and I suspect the book saw some action) that has, I think, been taped in place and some old adhesive has leached to the red board cover but the cover is otherwise in great condition with no bumping or creasing to the spine. Interesting insert inside the flysheet from the Friends of the National Railway Museum on the "Duchess of Hamilton" heritage runs from the early 80s. Please note, this is the 2nd edition published in 1966 by Blandford Press and not the first edition listed in the item specifics published by LBS.
