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photographs, many of them previously unpublished.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.
