DC Electrics by Colin Marsden:
Designed as a companion volume to the author’s similar work on the AC Electrics, this new and informative book is an illustrated history of all dc electric locomotives and EMUs. It includes the two Woodhead classes (76 and 77), the Southern locomotives types (Classes 70/71/73/74), Class 92 (in dc mode) as well as the dc locomotives produced for departmental and special use. The EMUs featured include those of the pioneering electrification schemes, such as the Mersey Railway, the Holcombe Brook branch, Manchester Altrincham, the Tyneside suburban network, the Grimsby and Immingham trams, the early LSWR schemes as well as the later development of stock for the third-rail systems in and around London.
Comprehensively illustrated throughout with both colour and mono illustrations, this new guide will provide detailed information on a subject not covered exclusively in many other publications, and will be ideal for modern traction enthusiasts.
