Little Giants. Ref: LC3629

A history of the Ffestiniog Railway's pre-revival locomotives, their mentors, manufacture and maintenance.
Jones & Dennis.
Very large, 592 pages, well illustrated with plans, maps, locomotive drawings, contemporary illustrations and photographs, some colour, bibliography, appendices, glazed boards. ** Surely the most substantial book I have catalogued in many a year, this history will be of great interest to all lovers of narrow gauge railways. Unarguably this book should be in at least two volumes and considerable space might have been saved by recording sources in end- or footnotes, but that may be its only fault. It is considerably more than a locomotive history; the origin and development of the line and its motive power has been researched in great depth and illustrated with some remarkable pictures.

William Pickersgill And The Caledonian Railway '956' Class Locomotives. Ref: LC3428

An objective assessment.
Peddie.
Very large, 168 pages, many photo illustrations, drawings, diagrams, glazed boards. ** The 956 class of four locomotives was designed to work 425 ton passenger express trains between Glasgow and Carlisle or Aberdeen. The locomotives were out-shopped in 1921. They had three cylinders and a novel 2:1 derived motion for the centre cylinder. Unaccountably a number of recognised technical imperatives were neglected, initial tests were disappointing and the locomotives withdrawn at an early date. This book analyses the failings, their probably causes and the potential modifications which could have been implemented.
It was a handsome, powerful-looking 4-6-0; making one to work properly would be a worthwhile project for the new-build steam contingent.

Merthyr Tydfil Tramroads And Their Locomotives. Ref: LC1785

Medium, 88 pages, illustrated with photographs, line drawings, reproductions of contemporary views and maps, soft back. **The Merthyr (or Penydarren) Tramroad was opened in 1802 to convey the products of Merthyr's four large ironworks to the canal at Abercynon. Its place in the history of railways is fundamental: it was the site of the 1804 run of Trevithick's locomotive - the first steam engine to run on rails. Later many more engines were used on the road, most of them highly idiosyncratic designs from the Neath Abbey Irorworks. This book, which marks the bicentenary, combines two works on this system: Gordon Rattenbury's history of the tramroad, not previously published, and Michael Lewis's history of the motive power, an extensively revised and enlarged verion of his 1975 work Steam On The Penydarren.
