FOREWORD
WHAT has come to be known as Locomotive Enthusiasm is a phenomenon that first showed itself in the early years of the steam locomotive-say, 13o years ago. It spread rapidly to all sections of the community, and today there are comparatively few technically-minded individuals, professional and amateur, and of any age, who are not affected to a greater or less degree by the almost irresistible attractions of the steam locomotive. The truth of this is plain enough in the sight of all those assemblages of young and not-so-young enthusiasts who congregate at railway stations and other lineside points of vantage, bent on nothing but watching the trains and taking down the names and numbers of the engines that haul them.
The reasons for the locomotive's attractions, and why they should be so potently fascinating, are intangible and seem to defy any attempt to explain them; but it is a fact that even among professional locomotive engineers, railway enginemen and other grades of railway staff, there are many whose affection and admiration for the steam locomotive have grown to such an extent that they are probably without parallel in any other profession. Most of these people would admit that their love for railway engines dates from their early childhood and became something of an obsession in later life.
And so it is with many thousands of amateurs, most of whom have had no mechanical training and are in no way engaged in any form of engineering. Yet large numbers have joined the ever-growing multitude of railway enthusiasts whose hobby of studying railways and engines is catered for, in all its multifarious aspects, by associations, clubs and societies spread all over the world.
The author of this book, although an engineer by education, training and profession, is an amateur, in the sense that he has never been connected with any railway. But, for more than 4o years, he has been closely associated with the model engineering hobby, and for nearly a quarter of a century, prior to his retirement from business, he served that hobby as Editor of MODEL RAILWAY NEWS and Technical Editor of MODEL ENGINEER. Much of the time that could be spared from editorial and other duties was devoted to the making of drawings of steam locomotives, in order, as he puts it, to enable model locomotive enthusiasts to improve and vary their models.
Some of the results of this, a life's work, are displayed in the following pages, all of them reprints from a long series of articles published in MODEL ENGINEER under the same title as that of this book. Each is accompanied by a technical description of the locomotive concerned and some notes based mostly on personal recollections and observations.
Together, they have involved an immense amount of research and they represent but one aspect of the power of the steam locomotive's inherent fascination; their variety is extensive, and in all probability their usefulness will reach far beyond the readership for which the author intended them. Perhaps they may best be described as a labour of love that will find its goal in the future; for, although the old and trusty steam locomotive is, at the moment, being gradually but relentlessly ousted by newer forms of motive power, its interest seems likely to endure for a great many years after it has ceased to exist.
The Author and the Publishers are to be congratulated on this valuable work. I recommend it to all interested in a great and wonderful achievement-The Steam Locomotive.
