Britains Railways in Colour: BR Diesels in the 1960s and 1970s

by

Colin G Maggs MBE Haynes Publishing

 

This book, covering the early years of diesel on Britain's railways, presents a wonderful array of over 200 colour photographs, many of them previously unpublished. All the imagery is reproduced from original transparencies that have remained carefully preserved away from daylight since the day they were taken, so the original vividness of colour remains - a rare quality. As high-quality colour photography from this period is scarce (most photographers worked mainly in black and white to serve the needs of publishers), this book will delight today's railway enthusiasts, who are always keen to see new material unearthed and published. Hardback, 280 x 230mm, 208 pages, 69 colour & 316 b&w illustrations

The books are priced at £25.00 Incl P+P and can be obtained by sending a cheque payable for £25.00 to "DTG Trading LTD " to the following address;

An Illustrated History of the Cornish Main Line by John Vaughan, Price now discounted to £12.00      

The main line from Plymouth and the River Tamar to Truro was first opened in May 1859 and this beautiful new book explores the entire history of the main line from the earliest days of the Cornwall Railway through to the post-Privatisation era, and is published to co-incide with the 150th anniversary of the opening of the line. The challenging construction of the line by Brunel is covered in depth, along with a concise history of the original acts which resulted in the opening of the main line. It includes many useful details, including comprehesive information about the various viaducts and notable gradients on the line, a complete summary of services over the years, as well as a survey of freight traffic, culminating in the rationalisation of recent decades. In addition, railway infrastructure, especially stations, signal boxes, and major depots and yards are also explored in depth, along with a complete review of motive power in the region, from the broad gauge locomotives through to the modern HSTs and Voyagers. With enough information to satisfy even the most ardent enthusiast and a collection of stunning images, this is the definitive history of the well known line and will be enjoyed by railway enthusiasts around the country.
