Roger Rounce’s new book presents a round-the-UK tour of diesel and electric locomotives, from Devon and Cornwall right the way up to Scotland and everything else in between.
The new book ‘Diesel and Electric Locomotives Around the UK in the 80s and 90s’ will be published by Gresley Books later this month, with pre-orders now open.
Informative and entertaining, the new book presents images of diesel and electric engines that many are lucky enough to remember seeing in their heyday and which many will wish they had.
