After nationalisation, Eastleigh Works built many BR Standard Locomotives whilst in later years it was heavily involved in the refurbishment of EMU stock. Now owned by the French company Alstom, it will close in 2006. Publication of this book is therefore timed to mark the final sad demise of another of the great names in the British railway industry. Written by two former Eastleigh apprentices, the book provides a comprehensive account of nearly 100 years of engineering excellence in this Hampshire town and will appeal to all those with an interest in Southern Railway locomotive design.
