This is followed by the inside story of the changeover from steam to diesel traction on British Railways, which throws new light on the reasons for the teething troubles that were persistent. The volume concludes with a very personal commentary on Mr. Cox's experiences as a loco- motive engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of this story could only have been told by one who has himself lived through it. As in the first volume, it is leavened by many intimate reminiscences, and is illustrated by a further fascinating series of photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback, 158pages, black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good with some tanning to pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ian Allan","offers":[{"title":"Secondhand (289)","offer_id":57272851136895,"sku":"9780711005440","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1910\/7111\/files\/9780711005440_773c50e2-8627-49a0-a708-5e755c957d31.jpg?v=1775144395","url":"https:\/\/rail-books.co.uk\/products\/locomotive-panorama-volume-2-hb","provider":"Rail Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
