Locomotives of China - the JF6 Family is the second volume in this series on Chinese locomotives. It covers the history and design of the JF6 and its derivatives, the PL2 and YJ 2-6-2s, and the SY 2-8-2s. The subject has been researched extensively using material from China, Japan and the West, and draws heavily on detailed sighting records.
There are numerous black and white illustrations of the locomotives, most of which of which are hitherto unpublished, and copious information on where each recorded locomotive worked, builders, build dates and technical variations. The book also lists preserved locomotives in each class, and contains extensive references and a bibliography. 186 pages A4, hb.
