## This book is classified as AS NEW. This is the 1984 Edition. The book was first published in this edition in 1984. The cover is in full colour, with locomotive Castle No. 5056 EARL OF POWIS emerging from TWERTON Tunnel near Bath. The author has brought steam locomotives into a historical book. A wonderful nostalgic look back to an era for all who loved the sight of a well-oiled steam Locomotive on the move ## _________________________________________ ## We provide at least two images for every book or map. All images are taken directly from the books in our possession; we never use stock photographs, except in the rare instance where a volume is awaiting scanning. This ensures that what you see is precisely what you will receive. If a book is bound to open flat, we may provide additional images. ## ________________________________________ ## The Colour of Steam - Great Western Main Lines Volume 1 (1984) offers a detailed and atmospheric survey of steam operations across the principal routes of the former Great Western Railway. Using high quality colour photography taken during the transitional years when steam was giving way to diesel traction, the book captures the final character of the Western Region with clarity and respect for its heritage. ## ## The volume moves through major junctions, rural stretches and busy main line corridors, presenting express passenger trains, suburban workings and heavy freight in authentic settings. Each image is supported by concise captions that identify locomotive classes, working details, dates and locations, making the book both visually engaging and a dependable reference source. The photographs also record the distinctive infrastructure of the GWR: semaphore signalling, traditional station architecture, goods yards, sheds and track layouts that were rapidly disappearing under modernisation. ## ## Beyond its photographic appeal, the book provides a coherent sense of the operational rhythm of the region, illustrating how long-established practices evolved during the final years of steam. It preserves the atmosphere of an era defined by craftsmanship, routine and the unmistakable presence of steam locomotion. For enthusiasts, historians and modellers, this first volume stands as a valuable record of the Great Western's main lines at a pivotal moment in railway history. ## ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.

This book is classified as AS NEW. This is the 1985 Edition. The book was first published in this edition in 1985. The cover is in full colour, light creasing to the foot of the cover, with a photo of three locomotives just waiting to be scraped, after being taken out of service like 16,000 other steam locomotives. The author has brought the end of the steam locomotives into a historical book. A wonderful look back to the end of an era and a sad day for all who loved the sight of a well-oiled steam Locomotive. ## _________________________________________ ## We provide at least two images for every book or map.

In this decade, more than 16,000 engines were taken out of service and sent for scrap, bringing to an end over a century of steam dominance on Britain's railways. This first volume sets the scene for the scale of the rundown, charting the early years of dieselisation and the rapid shift in British Railways' operational priorities. ## ## Trevena combines concise commentary with a strong photographic record, showing locomotives in their final period of service, stored in sidings awaiting disposal, and arriving at scrapyards across the country. The images capture a wide range of classes and conditions, from engines still intact to those already stripped for cutting. His notes provide essential context on withdrawal patterns, disposal locations and the evolving policies that shaped the transition. ## ## As with the later volumes, the emphasis is on accuracy, atmosphere and the preservation of detail at a time when change was happening at unprecedented speed. Published in 1985, Volume 1 stands as both a historical document and a reference work for enthusiasts tracing the fate of individual locomotives and the broader story of steam's decline. ## ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.

In these ten years, more than 16,000 engines were taken out of service and sent for disposal, marking one of the most sweeping technological transitions in British railway history. This volume focuses on the middle years of the rundown, when the pace of withdrawal accelerated, and entire classes vanished from the network in rapid succession. ## ## Trevena combines concise historical commentary with a substantial photographic record, capturing locomotives in their final months of operation, their storage in sidings, and their arrival at scrapyards across the country. The images show a wide range of conditions, from engines still warm from service to those already stripped and awaiting cutting. His notes provide context on disposal locations, locomotive identities and the shifting policies of British Railways as dieselisation took hold. ## ## The book serves both as a historical account and as a reference for enthusiasts tracking individual locomotives and their fate. Trevena's approach emphasises accuracy, atmosphere and the preservation of detail at a time when the scale of change was unprecedented. Published in 1985, Volume 2 stands as a valuable record of a period when steam's long dominance came to an abrupt and often unceremonious end. ## ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.

This book is classified as AS NEW. This is the 1987 Edition. The book was first published in this edition in 1987.

In this period, more than 1,600 locomotives were withdrawn from service and consigned to scrap, marking one of the most dramatic transitions in the history of British railways. Trevena documents this process with a blend of factual precision and photographic record, capturing the atmosphere of yards, depots and sidings as steam gave way to diesel and electric traction. ## ## The book follows the locomotives from their last days in traffic through to their arrival at scrapyards across the country. It highlights the rapid pace of withdrawal, the changing policies of British Railways, and the industrial landscape that surrounded the dismantling of once familiar classes. Many images show engines in varying states of decay, offering a stark but compelling visual record of a disappearing era. ## ## Alongside the photographs, Trevena provides contextual notes that help the reader understand the scale and speed of the rundown. The volume also serves as a reference for enthusiasts tracking individual locomotives, classes and disposal locations. As with the earlier books in the series, the emphasis is on accuracy, atmosphere and the preservation of detail that might otherwise have been lost. ## ## Published in 1987, this third volume stands as both a historical document and a tribute to the end of mainline steam, capturing the final chapter of a technology that shaped Britain for more than a century. ## ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.
