COMING SOON: Crewe-built D1052 Western Viceroy gets the Chronicle treatment as part of our 2021 feast of Western collection books. The locomotive is famous for her trips up north including one with a Morris Cowley freight that hit the headlines in December 1975. But did she really make it on to Eastern Region metals?Don’t panic though, as her Chronicle publication has all the answers as well as a focus on the Western Sunset tour and the vinyl recording of both Viceroy and Emperor as they worked hard from Plymouth to Derby and back. All this plus how fate intervened to curtail her BR career when one exam would have saved her from withdrawal. It’s another fact-filled , myth-busting publication from the Chronicle stable. This A5 size book, plus dust jacket and pages crammed full of information on ‘off region’ Westerns, is allied to glossy paper and many colour and black and white pictures of this venerable machine at work. Retailing at the usual £16.99 price, including FREE packing and posting, 2021 is shaping up to be a wonderful year for the Western Chronicle supporters.
