Martin Evans – Atlantic Era – The British Atlantic Locomotive – 1961 First Edition

The story of the ‘Atlantic’ locomotive, the leading express engine in Britain in the first few decades of the 20th century. The locomotive was used to haul some of the country’s most famous trains, including the Flying Scotsman and the Brighton Belle.

With black & white illustrations and – for the true trainspotter – many timetables. Lovely early 1960s cover design.

First edition hardback, 1961 by Percival Marshall. In original unclipped dust jacket, with some browning and wear to edges. Otherwise in very good condition and clean inside.
