Class 47 Locomotives: Celebrating Sixty Years

Description:

Brush Type 4 Class 47 locomotives have seen more than sixty years of service on Britain’s railways, celebrating their diamond jubilee on 25 September 2022. This book draws together previously unseen photographs by the author and others who have spent decades photographing, traveling behind and preserving these locomotives. Looking at the early years of the fleet of 512 locomotives as they settled into hauling passenger and freight, as well as the halcyon years of the 1980s and 1990s and more recent times, Martin Measures shares the importance of these locomotives to the railways and their many enthusiasts. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this fitting tribute to the Brush Type 4s commemorates their long and successful service.


Review

'This book is a must-have for fans of ‘47s’ or indeed those who enjoy classic diesel locomotive.' -- Rail Express Magazine, January 2024

About the Author

Martin has been a railway enthusiast most of his life. He has been especially dedicated to Brush Type 4 Class 47 locomotives. In the 1990s he coordinated the preservation of the pioneer Class 47 D1500 (47401) and played a key part in the subsequent acquisitions of Nos 47105 and 47417.

I bought this as a gift for a relative who is as we like to say “train mad” and it didn’t disappoint. It was very well received. An awe-inspiring personal story capturing the authors passion for trains and a remarkable collection of photographs each with its own description. A great book, very well written, superb photographs and the book profits go to charity. What is not to like? I look forward to the next book from Martin Measures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Personal tribute to the Class 47

J.R. · 20 February 2024

A very personal tribute to the best diesel locomotives ever built by someone who spent his entire adult life chasing them. As other reviewers point out each photo has a detailed caption with short story behind it. My only fault is book is small paperback and full size hardback would have done photos more justice l.
