Russell

Russell, Volume 1, provides a detailed historical account of the Hunslet 2-6-2 tank locomotive that once served the narrow gauge Welsh Highland Railway. This specialized history book traces the engine's journey from its initial purchase and service until the line closed in 1937. Readers can follow its transition through years of derelict storage, its subsequent use at the Hook Norton quarries and Fayle's Tramway, and its eventual restoration by the Birmingham Locomotive Club.

This volume serves as a significant resource for enthusiasts of locomotives in Wales and narrow gauge history. The text features black and white photographs and a two page spread of schematic diagrams to illustrate the engine's design. Additional technical data includes a dimension chart and comparisons to other two-foot gauge locomotives. This publication is a valuable study of Welsh Highland Railway history and the enduring legacy of the Russell locomotive.
