engine, especially smaller ones. With fuel prices increasing, its
something more and more tuners need to know about. This is the book
to turn to.The definitive resource on turbocharging--from ignition
to intercooler, exhaust to EMS--this book tells you all you need to
know, whether youre planning a scratch-built turbo engine,
converting a non-turbo motor, or troubleshooting OEM turbo
equipment. There's even a chapter for turbocharging diesel
engines.Author Jeff Hartman offers thorough, clear, and useful
information on every aspect of turbocharging. And, after discussing
the components and processes in general terms, he presents a number
of case studies that complete the picture, providing a real-world
understanding of how these modifications actually work.
London Transport's Country Buses provided services in the outer
London area and part of the Home Counties extending to an
approximate 25 mile radius from central London. Upon its formation
in 1933 the London Passenger Transport Board faced the task of
acquiring many independent operators in the Country area,
restructuring the route network and dealing with the great variety
of vehicle types. In the following years London Transport designed
a range of new buses for these services and built a number of
well-equipped garages. The Second World War saw a vast expansion of
services with many new routes serving the needs of war workers.
After the war a start was made in replacing the war weary fleet,
and a number of new routes in rural areas were established. This
first volume of the book tells the story from the origins of the
Country area in the early 1920s until the end of 1949.

America was made by the railroads. The opening of the Baltimore
& Ohio line--the first American railroad--in the 1830s sparked
a national revolution in the way that people lived thanks to the
speed and convenience of train travel. Promoted by visionaries and
built through heroic effort, the American railroad network was
bigger in every sense than Europe's, and facilitated everything
from long-distance travel to commuting and transporting goods to
waging war. It united far-flung parts of the country, boosted
economic development, and was the catalyst for America's rise to
world-power status.
Every American town, great or small, aspired to be connected to
a railroad and by the turn of the century, almost every American
lived within easy access of a station. By the early 1900s, the
United States was covered in a latticework of more than 200,000
miles of railroad track and a series of magisterial termini, all
built and controlled by the biggest corporations in the land. The
railroads dominated the American landscape for more than a hundred
years but by the middle of the twentieth century, the automobile,
the truck, and the airplane had eclipsed the railroads and the
nation started to forget them.
In "The Great Railroad Revolution," renowned railroad expert
Christian Wolmar tells the extraordinary story of the rise and the
fall of the greatest of all American endeavors, and argues that the
time has come for America to reclaim and celebrate its
often-overlooked rail heritage.
A facsimile edition of Bradshaw's fascinating guide to Europe's
rail network. Bradshaw's descriptive railway handbook of Europe was
originally published in 1913 and was the inspiration behind Michael
Portillo's BBC television series 'Great Continental Railway
Journeys'. It is divided into three sections: timetables for
services covering the continent; short guides to the best places to
see and to stay in each city; and a wealth of advertisements and
ephemeral materials concerning hotels, restaurants and services
that might be required by the early twentieth century rail
traveller. This beautifully illustrated facsimile edition offers a
fascinating glimpse of Europe and of a transport network that was
shortly devastated by the greatest war the world had ever seen.
Information on routine servicing and repair for the DIY mechanic,
with tasks described in a step-by-step sequence.
This new book deals with the primarily busy routes that were very
well served by trolleybuses during their 31 years in London. Each
chapter includes new research and the pre-war, wartime and post-war
operations are all covered, as is - for the first time - the
planning of the conversion programme that in due course saw the end
of London trolleybus operation. Well illustrated in carefully
selected black and white photographs.
