| The Talyllyn Steam Locomotive Book |
| Second Revised Edition |
| |
There has never been any shortage of books about steam locomotives - and no other subject can have been discussed so many times at so great a length on the Talyllyn Railway. But detailed written information on locomotive operation is far more scarce. Among the mass of railway books churned out each year, very few contain much of any direct use to the steam loco volunteer. There seemed to be scope for a book on TR loco operating practice in greater depth than previously available, and here it is.

The Talyllyn Steam Locomotive Book has sections on the different grades, shed work, Locomotive Cleaning, How the Steam Engine Works, Locomotive Firing, Duty Shedman and train operation with general background and servicing information on the engines.

| Section G Line Knowledge |
Contains the gradient profile and route map as published in Section 5 of the General Appendix. Produced for the benefit of the members of those grades who are not issued with a copy themselves.
|
| Section H Historical Survey |
| This section hopefully contains all the significant locomotive articles which have appeared in the Talyllyn News. Broadly speaking, the first half is of purely historical interest, while the later pieces from the rebuilding of No. 3 onwards are still relevant to current practice. The section begins with the loco report from the first issue of the Talyllyn News. |
