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.
