Bulleid and the Turf Burner and other experiments with Irish steam traction (KRB Publications)

Category: Transport

Featuring previously unpublished historic photographs, this book tells the full story of the Turf Burner, from early experiments with alternative fuels in the first half of the nineteenth century, through to the involvement of O.V.S. Bulleid and the development and subsequent running of CC1, more than a hundred years later.

The definitive work on the subject, the author has discovered previously unused sources of information, and has incorporated them into an authoritative, yet highly readable volume. Augmented by 80 plans, drawings and photographs, this book is a must for every admirer of Bulleid, and for all Irish railway enthusiasts.
