LMS 150, Patrick Whitehouse

This is the remarkable tale of 150 years of the London Midland & Southern Railway. Rich with detail and full of evocative images, this book recounts the history of this great railway using vivid personal accounts. Created in 1923, the LMS railway built some of the world's finest locomotives and its passenger coaches set new standards, while there was romance even in the everyday business of carrying prodigious quantities of coal and serving isolated hilltop communities.
