The 'Castle' class 4-6-0 locomotives designed by Charles Collett and built at Swindon Works were the principal passenger locomotives of the Great Western Railway. The 4-cylinder locomotives were built in batches between 1923 and 1950, the later examples being constructed after nationalisation by British Railways. ??In total 171 engines of the class were built and they were originally to be seen at work all over the Great Western Railway network, and later working on the Western Region of British Railways. ?The highly successful class could be described as a GWR work in progress, because further development took place over almost all of the locomotives working lives. In addition to inspiring other locomotive designers the 'Castle' class engines were proved to be capable of outstanding performances, and when introduced were rightly described as being 'Britain's most powerful passenger locomotives'. Some of the 'Castles' survived in service for over 40 years, and individually clocked up just a little short of 2 million miles in traffic. ??In this book, Keith Langston provides a definitive chronological history of the iconic class together with archive photographic records of each GWR 'Castle' locomotive. Many of the 300 plus images are published for the first time. In addition background information on the origin of the names the engines carried, including details of the many name changes which took place, are also included. The extra anecdotal information adds a fascinating glimpse of social history. ??Collett CASTLE Class is a lavishly illustrated factual reference book which will delight steam railway enthusiasts in general and in particular those with a love of all things Great Western!

The Duke class, introduced in 1895, was the first class of 4-4-0s to be built in a large quantity by the Great Western Railway. This remarkable book tells their story. The 1890s were important years for the GWR, mostly because of the conversion from broad gauge to standard gauge. Important decisions had to be made about the engines required to haul the trains on the standard gauge. These decisions were made before the final conversion to standard gauge in May 1892, but they affected the course and development of engine design on the GWR for the next twenty years. The adoption of the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement was a major change, moving away from the established 'singles' and 2-4-0 designs. It created a breakthrough for later GWR engineers to apply further improvements and development. This book gives the individual history of the sixty Duke class 4-4-0s, of which twenty were converted to Bulldogs. It is made more complicated because of the engine renumbering of December 1912. The book goes on to describe the Earl class, or Dukedogs. These engines were a development or hybrid of the Dukes. Some of these survived long enough to be in the last ten years of British Railways' steam before its demise in August 1968. There is a bonus because one of the Dukedog engines survives, no. 3217, on the Bluebell Railway. The decade of the 1890s is an interesting period of GWR history. There is much to be told. Two further books on engine history in this period by this author will follow.

The first thought, when contemplating a new study of the Great Western Railway locomotive fleet, must surely be to ask what can there be left to say? But there is no single source which gives a general introduction to the Great Western locomotive fleet. There are monographs on individual classes, an excellent multi-volume detail study from the RCTS, and superb collections of photographs, but nothing that brings it all together. This work is intended to provide that general introduction.The volume begins with a series of short essays covering general trends in design development, whilst the main body of the volume covers individual classes. For each class there is a small table containing some principal dimensions and paragraphs of text, covering an introduction, renumbering, key changes in the development of the class and information on withdrawal.The volume concludes with appendices covering the development and types of standard boilers, the various numbering schemes used by the GWR, the arcane subject of locomotive diagrams and lot numbers, and a short reference on the many lines the GWR engulfed.The majority of illustrations are new profile drawings to a consistent format. Described as sketches, they are drawn to a consistent scale, but do not claim to be scale drawings. Much minor equipment has been omitted and the author has certainly not dared to include rivets! Although most are based around GWR weight diagrams, they are not simple traces of the original drawings. Detail has been added from other sources, components copied from different drawings and details have been checked against historical and modern photographs. One must also bear in mind that steam locomotives were not mass produced. Minor fittings frequently varied in position and changes were made over the locomotives' lifetimes. Nevertheless, this collection of drawings provides a uniquely consistent view of the GWR locomotive fleet.
