Western Class locos had the same prefix which gave them a unique identity. Redesignated as Class 52 in the early 1970s, they were designed by and for the Western Region, which saw hydraulic transmission as the future. In 1967, the death warrant for the hydraulics was signed. This nostalgic volume gives a portrait of a much-loved class of loco.

For 40 years, the High-Speed Train (HST) was the mainstay of express services for many train operators in the UK. This book covers their service across the UK.

This was a period of change, as the first Class 47s to be withdrawn started to fall by the wayside in 1986, since seriously damaged crash victims were no longer likely to be rebuilt.

With over 180 photos, this book presents two generations of railway photography of the southwest of Scotland.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, most of the current locomotives in use on the national network were becoming very tired and ever more unreliable. It was during this time that EWS took over the large bulk of freight operations in the UK, and they quickly realized that major changes were needed.

Beginning operations in 2007, Grand Central runs its routes along the ECML. Initially running HSTs, Class 180s joined the fleet in 2009. With over 200 images, this book illustrates the wonderful landscapes of Grand Central's routes, the types of trains operated, including the iconic HSTs, and some rare locations not often seen by the public.

In the late 1990s, EWS needed something with a bit more performance, as well as electric train supply, for hauling charter and mail trains. The Class 67s were also pushed into other areas of work, including light freight and passenger services. Containing 220 images, this book covers all 30 locos in the class during their first 20 years in service.
