Samuel Waite Johnson's Locomotive Aesthetic Beauty

The author, Jack Braithwaite, has spent much of his life studying the locomotives of Samuel Waite Johnson and, in particular, their aesthetic attributes. His interest has extended way beyond that of most railway historians, for he has kept meticulous records of what others have said about Johnson and his locomotives, both from contemporary and modern sources. He has therefore been able to analyse this information in forming his own views and preferences.

Jack was elected President of the Midland Railway Society in 2001. This publication is based on the address he delivered to members of the Society at the end of his term of office.
