Showcasing the changing scene of locomotive power across the former LNER territories from Newcastle to North London. Andrew Grant Forsyth's impressive catalogue of photographs show the changing scene of locomotive power across the former LNER territories from Newcastle to North London, from 1947-1967. It features a wide variety of locomotives from the former Hull and Barnsley Railway tanks to the former North Eastern Railway 'Q' classes, Nigel Gresley designed class A3 and A4 and the Arthur Peppercorn 'Pacifics'. The stunning, unpublished images come all parts of the former LNER territory from Newcastle to Darlington, Doncaster, York, Nottingham, Norwich and numerous sites in the north London area, and include a visit to the remote East Anglian branches in 1952, but the greater part of this selection shows locomotives and workings in the former North Eastern region of British Railways. AUTHOR: Brian J. Dickson worked in the publishing and printing industries for over 35 years before retiring in 2000. He is now an active volunteer locomotive fireman and driver at a heritage railway. He has written a number of railway books and lives in Buckinghamshire. Andrew Grant Forsyth was a lifelong railway enthusiast particularly of the London and North Eastern Railway. His railway photography started in 1947 and his catalogue of photographs show visits to Scotland nearly every year from 1948 until 1966. In his spare time Andrew was one of the organisers of the Seafield Railway Club which arranged visits to sheds and railway sites throughout eastern England and Scotland. 140 b/w illustrations
