Summary

As different companies competed in what is now known as the 'steam era', the face of locomotives was changed forever. 'The Iron Horse' is an accessible and illustrated study of the development of the steam railway locomotive, from Trevithick, Hedley, Blenkinsop, Sǧuin, Stevenson and other pioneers to the ground-breaking analytical work of Chapelon and his disciples. John Walter outlines the fascinating history of steam railway locomotives followed by a comprehensive and easy-to-understand directory based on the Whyte wheel classification system.
