John Jennison has put together this fascinating collection of photographs of diesel and gas turbine prototype locomotives that operated on British Railways in the 1950s and 1960s. Most of the illustrations are large full page images presented in landscape format.
The book starts with LMS locomotives 10000 and 10001. Other locos featured include London Midland Region Fell locomotive 10100, Southern Region locomotives 10201 to 10203, English Electric Deltics DP1 and DP2, and GWR Gas Turbines 18000 and 18100.
For each locomotive or fleet of locos there is a page of text outlining the history of the locomotive type in question, followed by several pages of photographs. Many of the photographs are accompanied by detailed captions.
