The LEADER PROJECT: FIASCO OR TRIUMPH?

Widely regarded as a disaster when it was cancelled in 1952, Bulleid's revolutionary steam design has been investigated by the author for more than two decades. Based on first-hand accounts of those involved he shows that while the locomotive had flaws it was by no means a complete disaster, and that there is evidence to suggest that there were direct orders from the highest echelons of the British Transport Commission to ensure its failure. c175 illustrations. 160 pages. Hardback.
