Locomotive types

This page is an introduction to a section which will grow and should enable searchers to find information on specific locomotive classes, such as the LMS class 5 4-6-0s, and many of the pre-grouping classes, many of which were known solely by number. It is also hoped that this may provide an avenue to specific locomotives. It is based on Kevin Jones' Steam locomotive development, but will be updated by other material. It must be stressed that although a few of the pre-grouping companies are moderately developed, some are barely at the laying down of the frames stage: this is especially true of the Midland Railway (where there is now a wealth of material thanks to the Essery Manufacturory). It does not even reflect KPJ's likes and dislikes: access to material is the key problem, and the vast amount of work involved..
