Paperback. Zustand: Fair. At its core is David's telling of his work in South Africa during the late 1970s and 1980s which led to the conversion of a 25NC 4-8-4 into the locomotive which became known as 'The Red Devil' and was in a very small group of locomotives which were the world's most efficient and powerful, on a weight to… power output basis. But there is much more, including earlier experiments in South Africa on a 19D 4-8-2, and his subsequent work on the American ACE 3000 project, and on QJ's at Datong Works in China. Linking all these is his relationship with Dante Porta who offered considerable advice and guidance. There is a huge amount of technical detail on steam power, and advanced steam power in parti.
