In the mid-1930s, eminent locomotive engineer Sir Nigel Gresley produced plans for the A4 Class Pacifics, which were specially built to work a new high-speed express, the 'Silver Jubilee'. From the start, the class caused a sensation and immediately secured the admiration of the general public. 'Gresley's A4s' captures these world-famous locomotives throughout their life, with over 300 colour and black and white images present in this collection.
