Classic Diesel Years, County Durham, by Paul Shannon
Published by Stenlake in 2023, 48 pages. Rectangular Paperback - 17cm by 24cm (N8497)
Brand New Book
The book looks at the British Railways network in County Durham in the 1980s and early 1990s when a day spent on the main line would produce half a dozen diesel classes and a wide range of passenger and freight rolling stock. The author observes: ‘If some of the diesel classes pictured in this book are now a distant memory, at least on the main line, then so too are many of the railway settings.’ The East Coast Main Line was transformed by electrification in the 1990s, and the Tyne and Wear metro wires reached Sunderland in 2002. Elsewhere, resignalling schemes have done away with most of the mechanical boxes and semaphores, while the decline of heavy industry has brought the demise of many freight terminals.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
