A very good book with lots of well captioned colour photo's. It is set out in a series of sections each featuring a different subject matter, starting with Vacuum/Unbraked trains and ending with Departmental. The photo's are of various locations throughout Britain, and feature most of the classes that were around during the 1980s. It's one of a series of, (uptil now)three books, all with excellent photo's capturing the era perfectly. I eagerly look forward to the soon to be published fourth volume in the series.
