Locomotives in Detail 4: King Arthur Class
The christening of what was in fact Class N15 was the brilliant brainchild of John Elliott, the Southern Railway's press officer. Who could resist the appeal of Sir Galahad, Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot and King Arthur himself? Peter Swift traces the history of these strong, reliable engines which were built at Eastleigh and Glasgow. Plenty of detail for those wishing to model one of these locomotives.
