Just released, I picked up my copy from Paul at Alton Model Centre on Friday, is a new and quite magnificent volume by Kevin Robertson on this experimental locomotive designed by Oliver Bulleid. As he says in the introduction, Kevin has written a number of slimmer books on the Leader but this is something quite different. He has put together a whole new set of information and photos - some colourised - and has included the development of the Irish Turf Burning locomotive - Leader2!  There are some great photographs and a colour painting frontispiece by Malcolm Root of Leader steaming through Winchester on its last trial run hauling a 480t load.

Hopefully the team at KR have a copy to help them design their model of this unique locomotive.

A great addition to the railway book collection IMHO.
