Number |
Where the locomotive number
cannot be read I have relied on the author's information. Where no number
is visible and none is quoted, the photograph has not been included in
the index. Where the same number was carried by engines of a different
class or Company, the system will display all matches grouped by Company
and Class. |
| |
Name |
The name is linked to the corresponding number where appropriate.
This was a later enhancement to the system so it may still throw up an inaccurate
name if the engine underwent a name change. |
| |
Company |
This is the Railway Company who owned, built or operated
the locomotive. |
| |
Class |
I have included the Class designator. This will enable searches
for locomotives of a particular class. Where I have not been able to do
so, they are listed as "Unclassified". |
| |
Type |
This is the wheel arrangment (e.g. 4-6-0, 2-8-0T and so on)
|
| |
Year |
Where the source quotes a date, the year is included but
not the exact date. Where no date is provided the year is left blank. |
| |
Location |
If a location is quoted in the source this is included. Where
it is not quoted, no attempt has been made to identify it, unless the location
is obvious. These are annotated "Not Known". |
| |
Area |
This is generally the County prior to the pre 1974 local
government boundary changes. The odd photograph overseas is indicated by
the country. I have been unable to relate some locations to the appropriate
area - any help in filling the gaps would be appreciated. |
| |
Source |
All sources listed were generally available, though there
is no guarantee that they are currently in print. |
| |
Page |
Generally, the page number is given. Some books use plate
numbers - it should be obvious where this is the case. A page like "rc",
for example, denotes "rear cover". Some sources do not print a
page number on all pages - I have tried to be accurate in keeping count
of the pages. A few do not have page numbers at all in which case the page
will appear as a blank. |
| |
Publisher |
I have included the Publisher from my copy. Some books undergo
changes of publisher that may also result in a change to the ISBN - see
below. |
| |
Author |
The author is as stated on the book. |
| |
Date |
This is the year of first publication where a book has gone
through re-prints. |
| |
ISBN |
Where available, I have included the ISBN Catalogue Number
for my book. |
| |
Disclaimer |
I cannot guarantee that any particular photograph is suitable
for modelling purposes, nor can I vouch for the accuracy of the information
given in the source. I cannot undertake to scan or copy photographs -
it breaches copyright and life is too short!
