From the inside front fly leaf: This volume covers all the large wheeled outside frame classes, of 4-4-0 tender Locomotives, that once ran on the Great Western Railway.
As well as having full details of each of the classes - diagrams, names and numbers - it covers their allocation, operation and performance over the thirty years of their existence, and is illustrated by over 300 good quality photographs, many rare and previously unpublished, of the locomotives in all their variations, at rest and in traffic.
This work is also very useful to model makers, giving full details of mechanical and livery changes, that took place from the 1900s through to the early 1930s, when all except the preserved 3440, City of Truro, were withdrawn and scrapped.
