Modelling British Railways: Speedlink

Modelling British Railways: Speedlink

The mid-1970s saw British Rail revolutionise how it moved general freight traffic around the country, creating a network of fast and efficient services in an effort to compete with the motorways.

This came to be known as Speedlink and gave rise to diverse and colourful freight trains throughout the 1980s before financial losses forced its withdrawal in 1991.

A perennial favourite with modellers and enthusiasts alike, this publication will trace the origins of Speedlink - along with covering its heyday and what follow - via a series of detailed commodity and wagon profiles, in addition to in-depth modelling projects.
