Countless books have been written on different aspects of the steam locomotive, but few have attempted to give an overall picture of its design, method of operation, handling characteristics and the many - often contradictory - factors involved in efficient and economical running. In this new book, Dr. Tuplin draws on his detailed and comprehensive knowledge of the railway engine to describe its invention, precisely how it works, the design and constructional considerations which had to be faced as it gradually grew larger and more powerful, the relationship between efficiency and cost, and the practical problems of the locomotive in service.
