Westerns Volume Three
Westerns Volume Three
VOLUME 3 Provides disposal records for ALL those engines CUT-UP at Swindon Locomotive Works and includes details on those locomotives which were preserved but saw work done on them at Swindon. *Please note: D1010 and D1013 do not feature in this volume as they never entered Swindon after withdrawal. What an amazing back story this publication has. Hampered by the reworking of 45-year-old prints, a major car accident leaving one member bed ridden for nine months to a year and then the same member underwent two major life-saving operations within days, this book has emerged against all the odds. Part three of the critically acclaimed Western Volumes Series covers the disposal records of those engines scrapped at Swindon Locomotive Works after their withdrawal from traffic. Bar the lucky seven locomotives out of the 74 to be preserved, the rest went on to meet their maker but thanks to the stunning record keeping and photography from Mike Bryant, Vaughan Machin, Richard Williams and Paul Robinson, along with members of the Western Locomotive Research Society, this publication provides a fitting end to the trilogy. Detailing the events that happened to each locomotive after its service on BR, some stunning photography reveals D1034 falling off the crane in the con yard, D1009 being hoisted across Swindon Works and D1000 de-railed as it awaits the cutters torch. Together with some remarkable facts and dates, this volume is a must have to all those looking to complete the trilogy. A4 hardback, 134 pages, 99 per cent in colour, on semi-gloss paper, it is available for £29.99 POST AND PACKAGING INCLUDED!
