This seminal book was first published in hardback in 2001 and reprinted in 2004, that edition selling out in 2017. A new edition has been in preparation by the author since before then and the book has become a rarity! So, due to public demand we have reprinted the 2004 edition which is now available as a chunky softback. The author describes his motivation as ‘a celebration of the small, narrow gauge Hunslet locomotives from the slate quarries of North Wales which have survived into preservation … but it rapidly became apparent that it was impossible to ignore the historic context of these engines in their working days.’ Sixteen chapters include twelve on the different locomotive types plus ‘The Background’, ‘The Anatomy of a Hunslet’, ‘The Drivers’, and ‘Where They Work Now’. Three appendices include ‘Models’ and a Locomotive Index.
