A nostalgic look at fifty of the most famous British steam and diesel locomotives, whose celebrity didn't come solely from being revolutionary or breaking records. Suburban tank engines, shunters and hard-working freighters share the limelight with the elite green, blue and red prima donnas of the express passenger domain, all accompanied by detailed performance statistics and full details of their preservation.
Thrilling photographs of the locomotives at full steam, as well as colour photos taken after their restoration, make this the ultimate identification guide for today's trainspotters and rail enthusiasts, old or new.
