In just a decade, Britain's railway network has undergone a significant transformation in motive power. The shift to privatisation has replaced much of the legacy from British Rail, introducing a variety of new locomotives and multiple units across the country. This comprehensive volume, authored by expert Colin Marsden, details all current types of locomotives and multiple units in operation on the national network. Historically, Ian Allan Publishing's 'Recognition' series was a favorite among railway enthusiasts, designed to help them identify various motive power across the network. These volumes evolved through numerous editions during the changes of the 1980s and early 1990s. With the reduction in the number of different classes, it is now feasible to compile a single volume that encompasses all existing locomotives and multiple units. Mirroring the successful format of earlier editions, this book offers detailed technical descriptions of each class, complemented by a range of photographs showcasing class variants and their liveries. Fully illustrated in color, it provides extensive coverage, including first-generation equipment still in service, albeit in dwindling numbers, alongside the diverse new equipment introduced since the 1990s.

From the launch in 1838 of Brunel's 'Great Western' to the latest Cunard liner 'Queen Mary 2', the age of the tranatlantic liner is still very much alive. By the late 19th century the golden age of the liners was underway and the scene set for a growth and later decline in this luxury form of travel. In this publication the authors have worked together to produce a pictorial tribute to this period in maritime history, drawing upon Robert McDougall's extensive collection of postcards and memorabilia, plus text and captions. 176 colour and 105 b/w reproductions of archive photos and postcards. 128 pages.
