Oerlikon Twilight

Robert Freeman

Price range: £16.50 through £17.50

pages: 80
illustrations: 85
format: Landscape
ISBN: 9781913893866
SKU: OLT Category:

With the exciting array of steam power to be seen on the West Coast Main Line, railway photographers of the 1950s largely ignored the relatively mundane procession of EMUs on the Watford DC lines, so photographs of them are not particularly common. These trains were formed of the LNWR Oerlikon and LMS Compartment stock. Thankfully, The Transport Treasury has acquired enough photos of these venerable units to make up into a book. Also portrayed are the early years of the Eastleigh-built units that replaced them (later Class 501). There are also a few photos of the Lancaster- Morecambe-Heysham line: the connection is explained in the text!
