Western Class Locomotives: A tribute

Western Class Locomotives

Unusually for a large class of locomotives, all Western Class locomotives had the same prefix. They were designed by and for the Western Region, which saw hydraulic transmission as the way forward in replacing the 4-6-0 steam locomotives. However, the rest of British Rail (BR) selected electric transmission, and when BR opted for a standard policy, the Western Region was forced to comply. Illustrated with full-colour photographs of all 74 Western Class locomotives, this nostalgic volume portrays a much-admired, but short-lived, class of locomotive.

I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love themagazine.
Pretty much the only game in town for the stuff I'm looking for.
