This is devoted to locomotives built by Kitson of Leeds for a notable 2ft 6-inch gauge railway in India. It mainly consists of reproductions of the complete set of Kitson’s drawings relating to these 0-8-4 Tank locomotives built in the 1890s, which are preserved in the Narrow Gauge Railway Society library.
The book appeals to narrow gauge enthusiasts, model engineers and modellers alike: the drawings are accompanied by detailed explanatory text and together provide a complete anatomy of a Victorian steam locomotive.
Full explanatory pages cover the background to the development of these locos, the railway on which they worked, the builder, and designer Everard Calthrop.
