While steam locomotives have been 'done to death' there has long been a need for a range of reference books on diesels. True, there are plenty of diesel books around but few set out to identify and explain the structural detail differences between members of a class. When they do, it is often deep in the text and takes time finding it. Here we have a quick to use book which allows you to go straight to the topic of interest to you and quickly find the answer. When diesels first appeared we thought them ugly and featureless - that is until the 'Westerns' came along. Here was a modern railway locomotive with style.
