Here you have 174 pages looking, in the detail one expects from this series, at Stanier’s ‘Coronation’ class Pacifics, both streamlined and plain. The authors believe the ‘Coronations’ were the finest steam locomotives to run in the UK and certainly one, ‘Duchess of Abercorn’ gave the highest power output every recorded by a British locomotive. But whatever you feel about the class, you won’t get a better book about them! Many B&W photos & loads of details drawings. Paperback. Wild Swan
