This book provides insight into the developments that took place in British locomotive design and construction from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. It covers the various factors that influenced these developments, including the increasing weight of trains, the desire for higher speeds, and the limitations imposed by the existing infrastructure. The book traces the evolution of the steam locomotive, from its early beginnings to the sophisticated machines that were in use by the early 20th century. It discusses the different types of locomotives, including passenger engines, freight engines, and tank engines, and examines the various design features that were adopted to meet the specific requirements of each type. The book also documents the development of the various technologies that were used in locomotive construction, such as the use of steel, the development of the steam engine and the introduction of superheating. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and is an important source of information for anyone interested in the history of railway technology.
