Book Synopsis British Diesel Locomotives of the 1950s and ‘60s by : Greg Morse
Download or read book British Diesel Locomotives of the 1950s and ‘60s written by Greg Morse and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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'.

This stunningly photographed book describes the modern diesels that are seen on American and Canadian tracks, and shows them in all their brutish glory, hauling a variety of rolling stock. The size of the hardcover book makes it both an informative reference book packed wtih information, but also a beautiful book to share and display for train enthusiasts.
