A History Of Highland Locomotives

This second part of the Highland locomotive history concludes the story, covering the work of the last four Locomotive Superintendents, Peter Drummond (1896-1912), Frederick George Smith (1912-1915), Christopher Cumming (1915-1922) and finally the brief tenure of office by David Urie. In this book it has been possible to cover the classes in much greater detail than those in Book 1 as not only are many personal observations available but information on boiler and rebuilding detail, although not complete, is comparatively plentiful.
