Western Class Locomotives: A Tribute - Bernard Mills - Bog

Western Class locos had the same prefix which gave them a unique identity. Redesignated as Class 52 in the early 1970s, they were designed by and for the Western Region, which saw hydraulic transmission as the future. In 1967, the death warrant for the hydraulics was signed. This nostalgic volume gives a portrait of a much-loved class of loco.
