Covering the final years of steam on Britain's railways, this book presents an array of over 200 colour photographs.
This book, covering the final years of steam on Britain's railways, presents a wonderful array of over 200 colour photographs, many of them previously unpublished. All the imagery is reproduced from original transparencies that have remained carefully preserved away from daylight since the day they were taken, so the original vividness of colour remains - a rare quality. As high-quality colour photography from this period is scarce (most photographers worked mainly in black and white to serve the needs of publishers), this book will delight today's railway enthusiasts, who are always keen to see new material unearthed and published.

Colin Maggs MBE is a retired teacher and long-time railway enthusiast with several dozen books to his name, mainly on railway topics of the south-west. He lives in Bath.

Period colour remains relatively unusual in railway publishing, emphasised by the series title 'Britain's Railways in Colour'. None of the photographs has been previously published in book form, and only a handful in magazines. The internal format follows the successful Haynes 'In Camera' series style. Highly regarded author. Part of a series with BR Diesels in the 1960s and '70s, to be published in 2010.
