Detalii produs

Într-un album anterior, intitulat BR Diesel Locomotives in Preservation, Fred Kerr a detaliat numeroasele clase de locomotive diesel BR care au fost conservate și a notat că unele achiziții au fost făcute cu speranța de a le opera pe rețeaua națională. Railways Bill 1993 a oferit o oportunitate pentru ca acest lucru să se întâmple, iar acest album arată astfel de locomotive în lucru la începutul secolului 21 până în decembrie 2016. În această perioadă, mulți operatori de tren noi au intrat pe piață, iar operațiunile lor timpurii au folosit locomotive în vârstă retrase. de la serviciul de către operatorii lor inițiali până la înființarea afacerilor lor și până la înființarea de locomotive noi. Ocazional, aceste noi companii au fost pregătite să închirieze locomotive conservate cu acces la linia principală la contracte de servicii pe termen scurt, iar aceste servicii, în principal de transport de marfă, au furnizat o mare parte din varietatea operațiunilor de locomotivă care a compensat vederea din ce în ce mai

Descriere

In an earlier album titled BR Diesel Locomotives in Preservation Fred Kerr detailed the many classes of BR diesel locomotives that had been preserved and noted that some purchases had been made with the hope of operating them on the national network. The Railways Bill 1993 provided an opportunity for this to happen and this album shows such locomotives at work during the early part of the 21st century up to December 2016. During this period many new train operators entered the market and their early operations used elderly locomotives withdrawn from service by their original operators until their business(es) were established and new locomotives could be bought. On occasion these new companies were prepared to hire preserved locomotives with main line access to service short-term contracts and these, mainly freight, services provided much of the variety of locomotive operations that offset the increasing sight of multiple unit train services that epitomize the modern railway. The author has chosen to consider "heritage" traction as any locomotive older than twenty years, which therefore includes electric locomotives but excludes those of that age which are still operated by their owners as at April 1 1994 when British Railways (BR) was privatized. This results in the Class 59 fleet being excluded because its ownership has been constant but the Class 60 fleet being included because of purchases by Colas Railfreight after that date.
