Roger Rounce’s new book presents a round-the-UK tour of diesel and electric locomotives, from Devon and Cornwall right the way up to Scotland and everything else in between.
The new book ‘Diesel and Electric Locomotives Around the UK in the 80s and 90s’ will be published by Gresley Books later this month, with pre-orders now open.
Informative and entertaining, the new book presents images of diesel and electric engines that many are lucky enough to remember seeing in their heyday and which many will wish they had.
The locomotive names, liveries and locations featured will bring back many fond memories and will hopefully offer something new for even the most ardent enthusiast.
The book contains 192 pages of previously unpublished images including:
- ‘The Badger’ at Kings Cross
- Inside ‘the factory’ at Old Oak
- Changing locos at Mitre Bridge
- ‘The European’ at Shenfield
- Class 58s at Euston
- The late Queen Elizabeth at Chelmsford station
- Vic Berry’s scrapyard
- St. Blazey, Fort William, Gatwick Airport station
and much more!
The book is released on June 28, but you can secure your copy today when you pre-order here!
