RESEARCH

Research undertaken during the project to overhaul 1054 resulted in the publication of 'Bashers Gadgets and Mourner - the life and times of the LNWR Coal Tanks'.  The book, published by the Bahamas Locomotive Society and written by Peter W Skellon, was awarded Joint Railway Book of the Year by the Railway & Canal Historical Society in 2012.

The book also includes a free audio CD, which incorporates interviews with former enginemen who worked on these engines.
