We present another Southern biased title for you to collect within this popular series as we take a detailed look at a number of classes of 4-6-0s on the Southern Region during the British Railway’s era from 1948 until 1967.

Some of these might be expected but others may surprise some of our readers as they are found firmly within Southern territory, hence this is another volume to delight.

Taking a hard and long search through the archives we have compiled we think a superb selection of first-class photographs to depict each and every one of the Urie and Maunsell King Arthurs, along with all of the Lord Nelson and Remembrance Classes.

In addition, we examine the various varieties of H15 and S15 classes in all of the forms, not forgetting the venerable Class T14 Paddlebox 4-6-0s, all in the post 1948 era.

The photographs have been selected to show as many variations as we can possibly find along with a host of liveries worn during the British Railways era including many hybrids, no doubt valuable to anyone modelling the Southern Region.

If this was not enough, we bring you some delightful photographs of other 4-6-0s working deep into Southern metals, including: Castles, Counties, Halls, Manors, Granges, Stanier Black Fives, Thompson B1s and of course Standard Classes 5MT and 4MT, even a Caprotti!

Inside you will find coverage of livery, detail and naming variations using the highest quality photographs to tell the story in a large landscape format. We can enjoy once again all of these impressive locomotives in action, on shed and in close-up.
