The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Railways - Robert Tufnell

KORTE INHOUD

All aspects of the design and development of the locomotive are explained and analysed with illustrations and informative charts. The history of locomotives explores the factors that have determined the shape of every train and supported by photographs throughout, it illustrates all key innovations and improvements. These range from the revolutionary effects of the advent of cheap steel, through the development of electric traction and the diesel heavy oil engine to the latest electronic wizardry, which has made driverless trains possible. This comprehensive volume provides important information on all the significant manufacturers, and features hundreds of images of a huge range of trains. Illustrated in black/white and colour.
