locoholic Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Do you mean First Generation Scottish Diesels In Colour, by David Dunn? Yes, I have a copy. I think it's very good, but a lot of the photos are off the far north and Speyside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben04uk Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, it is by David Dunn. The ISBN no. is 1909625787. I suppose the West Highland and Morayshire are the areas the First Generation diesels operated, nothing on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line and Far North line I suppose?

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted January 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, I have it as well. Very good images, and some unusual trains illustrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffee Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Got it at Warley, a wonderful book indeed. Over a hundred pages of quality photos, mostly the work of John Malcom Boyes, all parts of the country with an emphasis on the early and the small, shunters, Claytons, 21s. 20s, 24/26/27 etc. I think there is not one I've seen before. Advise to anyone with an interest either history or model is to buy it ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary - quite a few of the Far North. It's a very fine book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of Kyle that I have never seen, including a 24 inside the engine shed, and some lovely images of Dingwall, again that I had never seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffee Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Indeed, the photo of D5132 inside the roofless Kyle loco Shed is worth the £ 20 alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 16, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 16, 2018 It’s a really good book. I picked one up from Douglas Blades at the Renfrewshire MRC exhibition on Saturday. Lots of BR green and early blue diesels. A little bit disappointed there weren’t any dmus included as I’m particularly into Swindon dmus on Ayrshire and Edinburgh - Glasgow routes. But well worth buying the book regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forest2807 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Based on the positive comments I've just ordered this book. Likewise, and it is excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Legroom Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I picked up a copy and have to say that it is a really nice publication. The era covered is a bit early for my modelling but fascinating nonetheless and the photos are of the highest quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hello Finally got a copy at Doncaster over the weekend. Well worth the wait though; an excellent book both as a reference source and as a trip down memory lane,. Well done Booklaw. cheers George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
