See all formats and editions
The Brighton Atlantic locomotives were some of the most handsome machines ever constructed at Brighton Works. They were signed by the D. Earl Marsh, Locomotive Superintendent of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, and produced as two classes, the H1, introduced in 1905-1906, and the H2, introduced in 19111912.The Brighton Atlantic type has had a following among enthusiasts and model engineers for over a century, with many fine examples of models of these machines being constructed in all scales, both as live steam and electric powered.Great interest is still there today, with many models of these fine locomotives on show at model engineering exhibitions and on smaller scale Brighton or Southern layouts.The Bluebell Railway in East Sussex is currently constructing a full-size replica of the last H2 Atlantic (Beachy Head) in a workshop at Sheffield Park, using some parts from the original locomotive and a rescued Great Northern Atlantic boiler. The project to construct a replica machine has aroused a great deal of public interest in this design of locomotive. At this time there are no books available on the market for anyone who would like to construct a model on, or take an interest in, the replica project on the Bluebell Railway.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book for fans of British steam. The whole series is great, but this volume is really nice!

    As I've said in several other reviews, this entire series is fantastic, but this one is especially good, and it deals with the beautiful and cleanly proportioned British Atlantics. Loads of great photographs and an equally impressive amount of history and information. This is a superbly done book about a subject that certainly deserves the attention. If you love vintage steam, this book is guaranteed to please and entertain.

    1.0 out of 5 stars A very poor overpriced book.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    A very disappointing book, extremely badly edited - some sentences duplicated, captions to photos simply repeat main text, most photos undate or no location. Some photo captions are facile: p.101 - "No.39 seen here festooned with Royal train locomotive regalia" without telling us the date or which Royalty are visiting us (one has to assume the loco will head a boat train); p104 - "Here the crisp, clean, elegant lines of the front end of fourth Brighton Atlantic (No.40) are shown to good effect" is the caption for a perfectly focussed, head-on shot of No.40 - simply stating the obvious but not telling the reader why the lamp irons are set with two discs and three lamps. Two chapters devoted to the H1 and H2 Atlantics occupy 40 pages of this 176 page book. The rest are devoted USA Atlantics, the formation of the LBSCR, Brighton loco works, GNR Atlantics, Pullman trains and the Bluebell Railway present day build of "Beach Head". The author seems not to know the difference between driving and coupled wheels. Photographs would have been preferable to the colour paintings (presumably made from photos).
    If I saw this book in a book shop and was able to browse, no way would I have bought it. Jeremy English's "LBSCR Atlantics" Ian Allan 2014 is VASTLY superior and a deal cheaper.
