Section 026: Titans/Veterans Of The Track series 1944-47

'Titans of the Track' was the first of a series of photo albums, these being produced between 1944 and 1947; although not strictly ABCs, they carried the 'Ian Allan Locomotive Series' logo. The same size as regular ABCs, but sideways, if you see what I mean. Eight books were turned out, and all eight were issued as a bound combined edition with a black hardback cover. 'Veterans of the Tracks' was a one-off in 1946, and has been included in this collection because of the similarity of title.
