Publisher's Synopsis
The 'green diesel era' between 1955 and the late 1960s/early 1970s, when diesel motive power was being introduced in large numbers on Britain's railway network, is today arguably one of the favourite historical periods for enthusiasts and modellers of diesel traction. This book contains over 180 photographs of the huge variety of the BR diesel fleet in this era from the 1950s to the end of the 1960s - both locomotives and DMUs throughout the country - as well as a portrait of a railway in which the infrastructure had remained recognisable for decades before undergoing wholesale changes.
