Description
THE DIESELS DELIVERED in the last century and though many traditional traffics had disappeared before the end of steam – fish, livestock, to recall just two – much remained in more or less traditional working patterns. Many diesel classes, it is sobering to reflect, did not last as long as some of the freight workings depicted in these pages! Half a century on, almost all have vanished from our national network. The era of diesels on goods, from fully braked oil trains to clunking and clanging loose-coupled four wheeled coal wagons, to the humblest branch pick-up is a neglected yet rewarding one, as this book sets out to demonstrate.
