The first volume of an illustrated review of early British Railways diesel locomotives, this volume covering locomotives registered under the TOPS numbering scheme as Classes 01 to 35.
The book consists of a series of high quality, archive colour photographs of diesel locomotives at work on Britain's railways. Images are presented in class order, starting off with the shunter locomotives before moving on to other passenger and freight locomotives.
Most photographs are taken during the 1960s and 1970s. Many of the classes included in this book remain in service today or can be seen at heritage railways around Britain. Each photograph is accompanied by a detailed caption, providing some historical background to the image. Hardback. 176 pages.
