Great Northern Locomotive History. Vol. 3a 1896-1911 The Ivatt Era.

Railway Correspondence & Travel Society, Bampton, Devon, 1990. First Edition, Hardcover (Printed Boards). Near Fine Condition/No Dust Jacket. 9780901115690 On the death of Mr. Patrick Stirling at the close of the year 1895, Mr. Henry Alfred Ivatt was appointed locomotive engineer of the Great Northern Railway. At the time of accepting this new and distinctly honourable post of succeeding so distinguished a locomotive superintendent as Mr. Stirling, Mr. Ivatt held the same position on the G. S. and W. Railway of Ireland, and the new chief of the G. N. loco, department brought with him from across the Irish Sea a reservedly high reputation which has certainly suffered in no degree from his change of scene. As some time had necessarily to elapse, however, before he was able completely to relinquish his former duties to take up the newer, it was not until the close of 1896 that any engine exclusively of his design made its appearance on the Great Northern metals. Ivatt was famous for his introduction to the UK of the Atlantic C1-class locomotives and also the Walschaerts Valve Gear. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 235 pages. No Dust Jacket as published.

Groves, Norman

Great Northern Locomotive History. Vol. 3b 1911-1922 - The Gresley Era.

Railway Correspondence & Travel Society, Bampton, Devon, 1992. First Edition, Hardcover (Printed Boards). Near Fine Condition/No Dust Jacket. 9780901115706 Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, a British railway engineer, designed many famous locomotives in Britain, including the LNER Class A1 and LNER Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific engines. An A1 Pacific, Flying Scotsman, was the first steam locomotive officially recorded over 100 mph in passenger service, and an A4, number 4468 Mallard, still holds the record for being the fastest steam locomotive in the world (126 mph).Gresley's engines were known for their elegance and were designed to run smoothly and efficiently. He developed a three-cylinder design with two sets of Walschaerts valve gear, which he called the Gresley conjugated valve gear. This book deals solely with the Gresley designs during the Great Northern period: in the case of some the designs, notably the Pacifics, this was extremely brief. It is, however, an excellent source for rare early photographs. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 134 pages. No Dust Jacket as published.
