Great North of Scotland Railway Locomotives by Hugh Gordon. Great North of Scotland Railway Locomotives
by Hugh Gordon

The Association is pleased to announce that Hugh Gordon’s definitive history of GNSR locomotives should be available in late February.  It describes in detail all the locomotives built by the company and its constituents and also examines proposed locomotives.  Each class is dealt with in turn. Hugh has drawn on his knowledge of locomotive design, first learnt as an LNER premium apprentice under Sir Nigel Gresley, to discuss the features and characteristics of each class.  Full dimensions plus building and withdrawal dates are provided.  This hardback book contains 96 pages and is illustrated with over 80 well-chosen photographs plus numerous drawings.

This is the latest Association publication and describes the lines from Dyce to Peterhead and Fraserburgh, plus the Cruden and St. Combs branches. The Buchan lines will be best remembered for the fish traffic which they carried. This book follows in the style of the successful Deeside, Speyside and Alford books but is slightly larger to reflect the more complex nature of the lines described.

The book is A5 format, soft cover, 72 pages and is fully illustrated.
