Another volume in the already acclaimed Western Chronicles series by author, researcher and hydraulic historian Adrian Curtis. This publication covers D1040 Western Queen, the first of the class to be involved in a major accident with the loss of lives. The accident at Knowle and Dorridge on August 15, 1963 was a shock to many as D1040 was deputising for the usual Blue Pullman disaster struck. Three railwaymen lost their lives but the human cost went much further and, thanks to new archive information, the full story is highlighted in this moving and and tragic tale. A5 hard back with dust jacket and glossy pages inside, totalling 70 pages, it is a must have for those with an interest in the story behind the story of the Knowle and Dorridge accident and much more. £16.99 INCLUDING POSTAGE AND PACKING
