From its development in the 1800s the locomotive has had a huge impact on all aspects of British life, as it carried travellers and freight across the country. Beyond its impact on the nation’s economy and daily commute the loco also spawned a new enthusiasm – train spotting. A pocket guide to aid any would-be train spotter, this book portrays over 60 of the important locomotive designs that have graced British rails over almost 200 years, covering everything from Stephenson’s Rocket and the Flying Scotsman to the BR Class 68 trains of 2013.
