NEW FEBRUARY 2023.  What is available here is a set of scans of a 36-page book containing about sixty good-quality black and white photographs. They were taken in the early days of British Railways and depict locomotives, trains and the occasional signal. All regions are covered.

The book was published by Ian Allen in 1949 with the title 'Studies in Steam No. 2'. The photos were winners and other entrants in their 1948 photographic competition, apparently supplemented by others they describe as 'from our 1948 postbag'.
