"The Book of the M7 0-4-4Ts"
A brief description:
The ubiquitous passenger tank engine of Southern England,
detailed and examined as never before. All the usual 'Book Of'
goodies - works and shed data, and endless, dazzling, absorbing detail.
There was no official differentiation between the engines and, until Southern days,
there were no differences in the uses to which an M7 could be put.
However, the various types of M7 had distinctive differences which are apparent
to the locomotive historian and important to the modeller. They are teased out and
demonstrated here for the first time.
"The Book of the M7 0-4-4Ts" is priced at £27.95 and is available from the
Swanage Railway On-line Shop
here.
