This enormous Edwardian & Post-World War I photo album captures the breadth of British locomotive engineering just prior to the 1921 Railways Act which consolidated by 1923 the approximately 120 different railways into four major railway companies each dominating its own geographic area resulting in the Great Western Railway GWR London Midland & Scottish Railway LMS London & North Eastern Railway LNER and the Southern Railway SR. The images depict several classes of steam locomotives designed and built under the direction of such steam and mechanical engineers William Dean George Jackson Churchward Vincent Raven William Stroudley Nigel Gresley Frances Trevthick Francis Webb George Whale John Adams Richard Maunsell Harry Pollitt Charles Sacre James Holden A.J. Hill and others. Opening with a striking photo of the historic Westbourne Park Shed before the railyard was moved the succeeding photos depict locomotives for the North British Railway North Staffordshire Railway Great Western Railway the Northwestern Railway India featuring an American-built Pittsburgh Mikado 2-8-2 wheel arrangement built before the 1901 merger forming ALCO South Eastern & Chatham Railway Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Great Eastern and a substantial portion devoted to the London & North Western Railway.
