## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    HIgh quality all colour photography
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2013*

There are stunning colour photographs of every type of diesel that has run on the Western Region between 1959 and 1981 from former GWR shunter No: 15100 to the HST.  There is a separate section for each class, in the order in which they came into service. A handy index at the beginning lists the various classes by chapter.  Needless to say the Westerns and Warships command many photographs whilst the humble Class 128 DPU has just one.  The locomotives are photographed in their natural environment of landscape or railway infrastructure.  This is thankfully not an album of just full-on close-ups of diesels.However, the captions tend to focus on the history of the locomotive depicted.  Personally, detail such as 'where and when' a locomotive is cut-up is not of much interest.  Generally little is mentioned about the rest of the scene. I would like to have read more about the overall picture.  Thus, regarding the scene at Truro of Western Sultan departing westbound, the eye is drawn to the track and signalling works in progress all around - possibly the abolition of Truro West signal box.  Alas there is no mention of the infrastructure despite the caption only using half the available space. There is also an irritating occasional tendency to state the obvious eg "note the deplorable exterior condition of the locomotive"!  Nevertheless there is a lot of Western locomotive history within the volume.However, this book has a quality feel and is very reasonably priced given the hardback cover and first class selection of superb colour shots.
