Robin Fell Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Pleased to say we received our new book back from the printers on Friday. Following on from the success of the first ‘Traction Times’ book, this second instalment follows a similar theme with even more images of early diesel and electric types compiled from the photographic archive of ‘The Transport Treasury’. On the basis that if a subject is popular the author and publisher are best advised not to tamper with it, the format again illustrates the wide range of motive power that came on to the British Railway scene to supplant steam traction. Some designs proved very successful (and may even still be seen at work today), whilst others struggled to last out a decade of use. Multiple units also saw winners and plenty of losers. The photographers who captured images of the new diesels and electrics at the time, probably gave little thought to the fact that much of what they were recording would be regarded with great interest in the years to come. Author, Andrew Royle, discusses the aspects of this period of great transition and explores several design examples not featured in the first book. www.ttpublishing.co.uk Edited July 24, 2021 by Robin Fell Cover change 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Fell Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just for clarification these books are published by Transport Treasury Publishing. Nothing to do with Strathwood. Direct links to the books are here Traction Times Vol 2 Traction Times Vol 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted July 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2021 True, save for the fact that Strathwood is a well respected mail order retail outlet for titles from a number of other publishers aside from Transport Treasury Publishing.
