Class 31 Locomotives (Class Locomotives)

Description:

This is a pictorial tribute to the British Rail workhorse, the Class 31. Over 260 of these locos were built by Brush at Loughborough from 1958 onwards, and they would work on most regions for the next forty years, with a few examples still working today. Working both passenger and freight trains, they were a success, although their original Mirrlees engines would be replaced with English Electric power units in the late 1960s. They have worn many different liveries, with most being portrayed in this book. Unfortunately most have now gone for scrap, however quite a number have been preserved and can still be seen running on their preserved lines up and down the country. This book acts as a personal recollection of a favourite class of loco. For those fortunate enough to have experienced the Class 31 locos in their prime, this book will offer a pleasing trip down memory lane. For those new to the class, it will highlight what you may have missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good photos of the locos all in colour

g.c. · 25 June 2016

very good photos of the locos all in colour.good captions with them .seeing these locos took me back to the days Waiting at Chesterfield for a loco hauled saturdays only .and thehush

4.0 out of 5 stars As a captioned photo book this works but lacks narrative.

A.J.R. · 5 August 2020

The captioned photos cover a wide variety of liveries and is good. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of history and technical discussions but the author admits this limitation in the introduction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality

G.B. · 30 November 2017

Amberley Publishing are rushing out these Railway books at the rate of 3 or 4 a month and quality is suffering as a result. Paper quality is poor, resulting in a wavy appearance, titles on spines are in different positions (makes a collection look untidy on a bookshelf) and, most significantly, the quality of many photos is extremely poor, with a grainy, low quality resolution, not helped by the poor quality paper. A definite case of quantity rather than quality with this publisher.
