Engines from every region could be found at Stratford TMD during the 1980s and 90s – making it an ideal hunting ground for the rail enthusiast. Photographer Roger Rounce presents a collection of his own images of diesels and electrics from those days when Stratford used any Class 47 to hand for Norwich trains and journeys between Chelmsford and Liverpool Street could just as easily be hauled by an Eastfield Class 47 as one shedded at Stratford. Visiting Class 37s were also used on empty stock and Cambridge trains.Stratford Depot Locomotives includes Class 08s, 31s, 37s and 47s alongside less common classes such as 20, 58, 60, 86 and 87. Details of each locomotive pictured include when it was built, when it was scrapped, names currently and previously held, other numbers carried, historical notes and dates.
Roger Rounce presents a round-the-UK tour of diesel and electric locomotives from Devon and Cornwall right the way up to Scotland, and covering everything else in between. Informative and entertaining, Diesel and Electric Locomotives Around the UK presents images of diesel and electric engines that many are lucky enough to remember seeing in their heyday and which many will wish they had. The locomotive names, liveries and locations featured will bring back many fond memories and will hopefully offer something new for even the most ardent enthusiast.
