Focusing on the nationalization of Britain's railways in 1948, the book explores the legacy of Scotland's steam locomotives, including rare classes like the ex-HR 4-4-0 "Loch" and "Small Ben." It highlights the journeys of enthusiasts who traveled north to document these fading relics before their extinction. Arranged chronologically, the book showcases a diverse range of steam power across Scotland, from the oldest locomotives to more modern classes, making it an essential resource for steam railway enthusiasts.
