This book is an account of the origins, development and service life of the Claughton and Patriot locomotives. While not as detailed as the 'LMS Profile' series, this is still a comprehensive description of the two classes and the modifications and re-building undertaken on the engines during their lifetime. The text is supplemented with extensive illustrations of the locomotives in service, including a number of close up images of various mechanical and constructional features, plus detailed drawings.
