`The keystone of the arch' in 20th century locomotive developmentthis is how one commentator has described the GWR 'Saint' Class 4-6-0. Evolved by the great G.J. Churchward in the first decade of this century, the 'Saints' ushered in a new era in locomotive design and were to play a significant part in GWR's locomotive practice for the rest of the company's independent existence.
In this lively and authoritative account, the first in a major new series, O.S. Nock, one of Britain's foremost railway authors, describes in detail the evolution and service record of these highly distinctive locomotives. With many comparative tables and superb contemporary photographs, this book is a 'must' for all railway enthusiasts.
