'How it Works': The Locomotive - Diesel and Electric

Description: "Steam locomotives have virtually left the railway scene: modern diesel and electric locomotives have taken their place. How do these latest monarchs of the railways work? How do the men in the driving cabs control them? This book will give you many of the answers and make your future train spotting or travelling all the more interesting."

Beautiful full-page colour illustrations grace each facing page. Enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the wealth of locomotives in BR Blue livery with pre-TOPS designations – including a glorious painting of the Class AL6 (86) loco E3164. As an added bonus, there is an illustration of a Class AM3 (303) EMU. Front pastedown and endpaper depict a b&w labelled cutaway of a 'numberless' Class 47, whilst the rear contain a b&w labelled cutaway of a Class AL5 (85) electric loco, unit number E3056.

Matt pictorial boards are in excellent overall condition, although the spine is slightly faded. Internally, the book is as new: pages are crisp, bright, unmarked, and very tightly bound.
