Highland Railway Locomotives by J. R. H. Cormack,James Laing Stevenson Pdf

This second part of the Highland locomotive history concludes the story, covering the work of the last four Locomotive Superintendents, Peter Drummond (1896-1912), Frederick George Smith (1912-1915), Christopher Cumming (1915-1922) and finally the brief tenure of office by David Urie. In this book it has been possible to cover the classes in much greater detail than those in Book 1 as not only are many personal observations available but information on boiler and rebuilding detail, although not complete, is comparatively plentiful.
