This book is an illustrated record of the hugely successful Gresley Class V2 steam locomotives, which were built during the late 1930s and early 1940s for hauling passenger and freight trains for LNER.
Each of the 184 locomotives in the class are illustrated, along with several images of locomotives in works and also at scrapyards following withdrawal. A full list of locomotive allocations by shed is included, along with a list of notable accidents and incidents and details of locomotive tenders.
Photographs are each accompanied by an extensive caption, providing information about the locomotive's history. Hardback. 184 pages.
