In the 1930’s the small village of Corby in Northamptonshire was transformed into a sizable town, this was due to Stewarts and Lloyds Ltd, a firm which produced tubes as an end product, enlarging their existing ironworks into an integrated plant. Ultimately a complex railway system was created, both to deliver iron ore from the adjacent quarries and to facilitate production in the iron, steel and tube works. Until the late 1960s an extensive fleet of industrial steam locomotives was the lifeblood of the system.

In Engines at Corby: Memories of an Industrious Railway System the author, Peter Staughton, describes the types of engines in use, the varied comings and goings of the fleet, the surroundings they worked in and some of the duties that they undertook during the 1960s. Three colour maps are used to help the reader to visualize the goings-on.

35 black & white and 79 colour photographs. 80 pages
