Description
As well as providing a background to the operation of the class under Bristish Rail, Craig Taylor and Jonathan Dunster have captured the behind-the-scenes story of the planning, preparation and delivery of a year of 50th anniversary events including seven mainline railtours and the highly successful Class 50 Golden Jubilee gala at the Severn Valley Railway which brought together 11 of the locomotives.
- 104 pages packed with stunning, and previously unpublished photography throughout.
- A fascinating account of the miraculous restoration of 50033 Glorious which was resurrected just in time to star in the Gala event.
- A look at heritage operations,
- A round up of mainline activity
- and a detailed history of 50007 from its delivery in 1968 to the present day.
Only 500 copies of this exclusive publication were ever available, we have purchased the final 50 to be sold, so if you would like to order this as a memento of their very special 50th year.
