D1004 Western Crusader
D1004 Western Crusader
Another fascinating volume from the already acclaimed Western Chronicles series from researcher, hydraulic historian and author Adrian Curtis. The full story of D1004, the only Western to go from green livery with small yellow panels into blue livery with full yellow ends in 1967, is told in this volume along with an explanation of hydraulic tender contracts and an examination of the original cab ventilation experiment applied to D1004 and others. There is also a full explanation behind the use of green livery and how the government got involved to ensure yellow panels went on everything.
