A locomotive profile of the well-known LMS 3F 0-6-0 tank engines, known to enthusiasts as Jintys.
These locomotives were very versatile. Designed as heavy shunting engines the 3F tank, like the GWRs panniers, were equally capable branch line engines and one group was actually built to replace former North London Railway locomotives, working busy commuter services.
This book provides an useful historical overview of the class, covering and illustrating developments, fittings and detail changes with photographs and extracts from works drawings.
