Peppercorn's Pacifics

Peppercorn's Pacifics Synopsis

Arthur Henry Peppercorn was the last Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London and North Eastern Railway. Peppercorn finished several projects which were started by his predecessor Edward Thompson, but most popular were his LNER Peppercorn Class A1 and the LNER Peppercorn Class A2. These were known as some of the best British steam locamotives ever in service. This book will detail Peppercorn's life with as many personal pictures as possible. It will include black and white and colour pictures of 49 of his A1 locomotives and 15 of his A2 locomotives. The pictures will show the locamotives under construction, from the lineside and on shed.
