This collection of photographs focuses on the last days of steam in Britain, from March 1966 to August 1968 - right up to the final twenty-four hours of mainline steam operation. A wide range of motive power is illustrated, hauling main-line expresses as well as freight trains.

Farewell to Steam

<p>In many ways the 1980s was the 'Golden Age' of diesel locomotive-hauled trains on British Railways. By this period travel behind steam traction was a faint memory. However, many popular classes would carry on throughout the 1980s and this decade also saw many changes taking place in the infrastructure of the railways. These developments are vividly captured here by Roger Siviter.</p>

Sutton Pub Ltd

Roger Siviter has gathered together a collection of top-quality photographs that illustrate the last three years of steam traction on Britain's railways. Drawing on his own vast archive, as well as those of other equally talented railway photographers, he has put together a powerful sequence of images that will bring back happy memories for many steam railway enthusiasts.

Memories of Steam: The Final Years

The advent of diesel on Britain's railways at the end of the age of steam meant the introduction of many locomotive designs from a variety of manufacturers. Some were highly successful and generated an enthusiastic following that continues today. Diesel Memories is a superb collection of black-and-white photographs, supported by Roger Siviter's informative and well-researched captions. The book contains all the important locomotive classes from the Deltics, `Warships' and `Westerns', the Class 25s, 26s, 27s and 37s to the 50s and 47s and even the old DMUs. In addition to the locomotives, there is an important photographic record of locations which have changed almost beyond recognition and of the railway infrastructure, including stations, signal-boxes and semaphore signals which have now disappeared. This book will remind readers of a fascinating evolutionary period for Britain's railways.
