This volume presents a rare collection of color photographs documenting London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) locomotives during a pivotal period of British railway history. The LNER, operational from 1923 to 1948, is captured through images taken within its existence, a time when color photography was scarce. The book showcases a diverse range of locomotives, highlighting iconic liveries such as the Pacifics in garter blue and Atlantics in green, offering a visual record of these powerful machines.

This book is likely to be appreciated by railway enthusiasts and historians for its unique collection of color photographs from a period where such images are exceptionally rare. The focus on specific locomotive types and liveries suggests a detailed and visually rich account for those interested in the LNER's operational years. The inclusion of photographs from 1936-1948 provides a valuable visual reference for the locomotives that defined this era. The book serves as a testament to the photographic preservation of these historic machines.
