About this title

Synopsis:

Always popular, but long unavailable, this definitive history of the life and times of the diesel shunter, is now back in print. This classic history provides extensive coverage of the full range of these indispensable locomotives from the very earliest days under the 'Big Four' to the post-privatisation period. The author provides factual information about each type - dimensions, number series, power, speed etc - allied with a photographic selection that highlights the various liveries that the class carried in service.
