Cameron's Engines

A lavishly illustrated account from the volunteers who kept the engines of John Cameron, the Union of South Africa and The Great Marquess, operational on heritage railways. In this second volume the support crew present more stories about 60009 Union of South Africa and also John Cameron’s second locomotive, 61994 The Great Marquess, which he acquired in 2003. This much smaller locomotive could go to places barred to 60009, such as the West Highland line, the line it was built for. It has also run on many heritage lines, where it has proved very popular. As before, the ups and downs of main-line running are included, as well as fascinating anecdotes and memories. Richly illustrated with more previously unpublished images, this book provides a wonderful insight to this marvellous hobby, something that has ended now that both locomotives are safely resting in John Cameron’s Museum.
