Looking back at peaks - Kevin Derrick

This wonderful volume deals with Classes 44, 45 and 46 from their earliest days with the introduction of D1 Scafell Pike in 1959 through to the last few Peaks to survive in everyday service. A fascinating range of archive photography has been used to illustrate our subjects, taking in the myriad nose end variations and livery details; double-heading; night-time views; and some delightful shots of Peaks in their steam-heat days are to be found inside these pages, all in full colour. The chapters themselves look at all of the examples, taking in so many of those wonderful regimental names and badges in detail.
