Sommario
The Southern's chief engineer in the later years, Oliver Bulleid, designed electric as well as steam rolling stock, and many features of his locomotives were introduced on standard BR rolling stock. Reference material includes text, tabular details and photographs of the locomotives and rolling stock, other equipment, depots, railway stations and the network. 'Some excellent appendices on locomotive headcodes, station name changes, locos inherited at the grouping, Southern-built locos and names make this our Book of the Month.' Railways Illustrated. 'Maps and a good selection of well-reproduced pictures mingle unobtrusively with the text and the layout is clear and uncluttered. A compilation such as this is no mean undertaking, and a respectable outcome is the end result.' West Somerset Railway Journal. 'Plenty of information to sink your teeth into...' Steam Railway. '...a very full and readable book that will make many much the wiser and well entertained.' Railway Modeller.
