A generation of enthusiasts recorded the movements of locomotives around the railway system.
These records of visits to locomotive depots have been collected and carefully analysed to provide an overall portrait for the period 1943 to 1968.
During that period of steam's final years, there was a marked change from the pre-grouping types that still found work at a few depots, to the modern BR designs that worked until the end in 1968.
The handling of freight and passenger services was a major undertaking from town and cities, ports, coal mines and factories. All of it traversed the labyrinth of lines that criss-crossed the country.
There were numerous 'sheds' spread throughout the length and breadth of the land that provided and serviced the vast army of steam locomotives (20,000 in 1948).
