By the late 1950s the motive power in use by British Railways, both
on passenger and freight services, was changing fast with diesel
and electric traction becoming increasingly common. From 1958
onward, new, larger diesel locomotives were being introduced and
started to replace steam locomotives of a similar size although the
manufacture of the standard steam designs introduced from 1951 had
only just finished. With a wealth of previously unpublished images,
Charlie Verrall offers a wonderful celebration of the heyday of
steam and a fascinating record of a period of significant change on
the railways. With sections covering each major region and a wide
variety of locations, from lineside shots to loco sheds, Verrall's
account of this interesting period of British railway history shows
the breadth of different workings that could be found across the
country. Lavishly illustrated throughout with scenes including
locomotives at work and rest, Search for Steam will appeal to steam
enthusiasts both young and old.
