Class 08 Locomotives in Scotland

With a wealthy of previously unpublished images comes a photographic celebration of class 08 locomotives on Scotland's railways. ''Invaluable for identifying detail differences, the images also feature plenty of other useful information, in terms of rolling stock and lineside detail.'' ''Excellent coverage of a once-common sight on the railway.'' Since their introduction in the 1950s, the Class 08, the most common type of British Rail shunter, has been found in almost every area of the UK. These machines carried out the shuntings and movements around stations and yards, with most depots carrying an allocation. A number have survived into preservation, but at one time more than 200 could be found in Scotland. This book covers 08s from the BR era through privatisation and beyond, and features a range of different locations around Scotland.With a wealth of previously unpublished images, this book will delight Scottish rail enthusiasts both young and old.
