Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gallery of spectacular photos celebrating the history of these popular locomotives of the late twentieth century. Peter J. Green first photographed Class 50 diesels in action in 1975, while they were still being transferred from the London Midland to the Western Region of British Rail. But it was in the early 1980s, when they were named and painted in Large Logo livery, that his interest in the class really took off. For Peter, they stood out from most other locomotives that were painted in the rather drab Rail Blue livery. The sound of the locomotives, particularly when running at speed, was also very impressive, producing shouts of “50!” from waiting photographers, even before the train was in sight. The class became a particular target for his railway photography and many of his trips were made with them in mind. They regularly worked trains around his hometown of Worcester, so if he did not want to go too far, it was easy to find a satisfactory subject at which to point his camera. Before their withdrawal in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they were used on many rail tours, which always provided good photographic opportunities. Today, with many of the class working on heritage railways, and a number of privately owned locomotives registered for main line use, there is still plenty to keep his cameras occupied. A selection of Peter’s best photos of the Class 50 diesels, taken over a period of forty-five years, appear in these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These locomotives enjoyed striking 'continental' good looks with, strangely, more than a nod to preceding steam design; for this they were regarded fondly by enthusiasts and they earned the somewhat fanciful and inexplicable nickname 'Teddy Bears'.Sadly, performance did not match these fond feelings and as well as proving disappointing technically, the steam age duties for which they were designed were, to BR's consternation, rapidly disappearing.British Railways sold them off after a few years but despite such an unprepossessing - ignominious some might say - career many nevertheless saw many years of work in private industry including, famously, the Channel Tunnel.Remarkably, over a third of the class passed into preservation, an unprecedented proportion and paradoxically they can now be found at work, daily, the length and breadth of the country.

Book excerpt: The Western Region of BR decided to be distinct from other parts of the network by using diesel-hydraulic locomotives to replace steam traction. Now, more than thirty years after the last of the Western Region diesel-hydraulic classes was withdrawn from service, interest in the various types remains strong and is growing. In all, the Western Region acquired more than 350 diesel-hydraulics. This new color album features a selection of diesel-hydraulic types in operation across the whole WR network, and focuses on the less-familiar classes?the Hymeks and the Classes 14 and 22. The choice and selection of photographs is key in these photographic portraits, and all enthusiasts will be delighted with the fantastic array of unpublished images. It is ideal for diesel enthusiasts and for anyone modeling the Western Region.
