This book celebrates the British Rail Class 47 (Brush Type 4)'s 50 years of service from September 1962 to September 2012 with 180 pages featuring previously unpublished photographs ranging from the 1960's to the modern era. The book is in several sections, starting with the Early years when the Class 47s ran alongside steam locomotives, a section focusing on freight operations, another on passenger operations, one on night running, light engine operations, piloting, maintenance and a general look back at the Class 47. The book features an 18 page photo-index at the rear of the book, which allows all of the photographs in the book to be enjoyed without obstruction. The book features over 20 two-page photo spreads distributed throughout the book. There are over 140 previously unpublished black and white photographs featured in this book. The photographs were originally taken using Black and White film. The majority of the photographs in this book were taken before privatization. All proceeds from this book go to fund future oorail projects. This book is perfect for the Railway Enthusiast looking for a unique look back at the Class 47. The book would also be of interest to the Railway Modeler looking to recreate this era as the Class 47 ran throughout the British Rail network. The book features some unique photographs taken from restricted locations such as inside engine sheds, inside TMDs (such as Crewe Works), from signal boxes, from a Class 47 cab and power stations.
