With an ever increasing demand for accurate detail on models today, the introduction of this series of books was pure genius. It provides a much needed source of detail concerning changes that occurred to locomotives during their lives and the differences between individual members of a class. It is all here, history, structural detail, later modifications and livery changes. This book is the eighth in the series. The author is a former BR engineer who, now retired, has turned his hand to writing, restoration work, photography and railway modelling. He is currently secretary of the South Western Circle and Archivist to the Historical Model Railway Society.
