Excellent catalog of British steam locomotives. Text up to date unlike some. Also some good colour photography. I learnt quite a bit from it. Although it is arranged in a kind of logical order by era, I think an index would have been useful

If you are a British steam fanatic you need look no further, if not this may turn you into one. All the most important loco's with large pictures and descriptions, what more could one ask?
