Pages : 88
Book Description
After the Second World War, the drive for the modernisation of Britain's railways ushered in a new breed of locomotive: the Diesel. Diesel-powered trains had been around for some time, but faced with a coal crisis and the Clean Air Act in the 1950s, it was seen as a part of the solution for British Rail. This beautifully illustrated book, written by an expert on rail history, charts the rise and decline of Britain's diesel-powered locomotives. It covers a period of great change and experimentation, where the iconic steam engines that had dominated for a century were replaced by a series of modern diesels including the ill-fated 'Westerns' and the more successful 'Deltics'.

Category : Diesel locomotives
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
"Many of the first generation diesel locomotive designs are now as much a memory as the steam locomotives they were designed to replace and, with the arrival of the Class 66 and Class 67, many of the surviving first-generation diesel classes will also be consigned to history." "This revised edition of British Rail Main Line Diesel Locomotives is the result of many years' research by Colin Marsden, one of Britain's best-known and most highly respected modern traction authors, illustrated by the superb scale drawings by Graham Fenn. There have been a whole host of developments since 1987 when the first edition was published, and the authors have included additional material covering not only the new classes - 66 and 67 but have fully revised the entry for the Class 60 and provided information on the latest Class 47 revision, the Class 57." "With its outline history of every locomotive, selection of fine photographs and 4mm scale drawings, this new edition of a popular classic will be an essential work of reference for railway modellers and modern traction enthusiasts well into the new Millennium."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
