| 406 | “From Bloomers to Tops – Locomotive classification through the ages” (A Brief Summary) . Article by R.A.S. Hennessey. 8 pages, 17 photographs (none LNWR) and 13 references. A fascinating survey of how classification systems developed - a ‘Four Foot Three’ or a ‘4ft 3in Eight-coupled Coal Engine (Superheated)’ or a ‘Class G1’ or a ‘Super D’ or a ‘Duck Eight’? And what if the first in class was named? The author uses examples from many railways at home and abroad, with our company figuring strongly.
