Looking Back at Class 24 & 25 Locomotives takes a closer look at these plucky and versatile Type 2 locos in a full-colour photographic album. The images follow the locomotives from their introduction in the late 1950s and throughout their service years, continuing to their final demise from everyday service. Inside we look at some of the variations that have appeared over the years and at many of the liveries they have borne. A varied selection of locations and workings have been chosen from a vast library of colour photographs, which are accompanied by informative captions; they are sure to appeal to both the enthusiast and the modeller alike.

A fine collection of colour photographs from the 1950s and 1960s around the British Railways Southern Region. Along with the usual selection of Bulleids we can enjoy a wide range of Standards and Maunsell designs along with many of the surviving locomotives from the pre-Grouping companies. In addition, some of the fascinating specials are seen, which brought further engines somewhat alien to the Southern Region in the days of regular steam. The author, as a real fan of Southern steam, has located some absolute classic views to ensure this volume will be a real favourite.
