POWER OF THE DELTICS

First published in 1977, this is the second reprint of this sought after book presenting a top quality photographic portfolio of this highly successful diesel class. Introduced in 1961, the 'Deltics' gave a high reliability performance record on East Coast Main Line passenger duties and, late in their careers, Cross-Country workings until January 1982 when the last was withdrawn. The photos capture the powerful look of these magnificent machines, with a background of railway scenery in many instances no longer to be seen. 191 b/w and 20 colour photos.
