Another volume in the already acclaimed Western Chronicles series detailing every member of the 74-strong class 52 diesel-hydraulic locomotives in their own individual publication. D1005 covers some interesting aspects and also wrecks a myth or two which will mean enthusiasts taking a new look at the past. The book covers, the first Western to be involved in an accident, the actual paint used on the Swindon engines, and highlights why Swindon Works used a thinner type of beading on the name and number plates of the first few examples to be built. Includes interviews with the men in the know and archive material never seen before. All this PLUS a major and important update to D1000 which finally lays to rest the application of yellow panels on the doyen of the fleet plus a nameplate find from the archives that will change previous thinking. More than 70 pages of colour and black and white pictures plus archive material make this another must have book for the real Western enthusiast. £16.99 POST AND PACKAGING INCLUDED! it is another winner from the Chronicle stable.
