STEAM'S LAMENT Stanier & Ivatt Pacifics

Another good book on the real railways.

Steam's Lament Stanier & Ivatt Pacifics

Excellent book

STEAM'S LAMENT, Stanier & Ivatt Pacifics

What an excellent tribute to, for me, one of the most aesthetically pleasing designs of British built steam locos (the Coronations). The earlier Princess Royals are also covered. Each locomotive in each class features in the book. The pictures depict locos on shed, in stations and on the main line, on express passenger workings and more mundane freight duties. The only criticism (I've always got to find some fault) is the omission of words in several of the captions. Unfortunately this error seems to be prevalent in so many publications these days (proof readers/grammar check required!). Apart from this, an excellent book which I'm glad to add to my collection, good value for money. PS A small section of colour photographs depicting each livery would make this an absolutely superb book!
