This is a long overdue history of the locomotives of the NCC which was a significant part of the LMS empire in Irel&. The NCC brought a splash of Midland red to the Irish locomotive scene in the 1920s & 1930s & was a useful test bed for LMS experiments with new traction such as Sentinel steam locomotives & diesel railcars. It also provided personnel who later filled some significant management posts for the LMS itself such as WK Wallace Malcolm Speir & Sir William V Wood. William Scott's book goes back to the origins of the NCC locomotive fleet in 1847 when the Belfast & Ballymena Railway ordered its first locomotives. The B&BR was renamed the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway in 1860 taking over two other railways the following year. The locomotives of these constituents the Londonderry & Coleraine Railway & Belfast Ballymena Coleraine & Portrush Junction Railway are included as well as those of the narrow gauge lines taken over in the 1880s. In 1903 the BNCR was purchased by the Midland Railway & became known as the MR (NCC) later the LMS (NCC). The book gives details of every NCC locomotive built between 1847 & the end of steam in 1970. The author is a train timer &
