A detailed, illustrated history of UK locomotives exported across Europe, with over 200 previously unpublished photos. Many British main-line diesel and electric locomotives have found further useful employment across Europe after completion of their careers in the United Kingdom. This volume incorporates text and photos into a detailed history of these locomotives and their surprisingly extensive geographical use—including in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Kosovo, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia in recent decades. A significant amount of exclusive factual information and over 200 previously unpublished photographs combine to provide a comprehensive insight into the British locomotives now finding a second life overseas, including coverage of Class 37, 56, and 58 locomotives on high-speed line construction work in France; Class 37 mishaps in Spain; Class 86s on their day of arrival in Bulgaria; and various types of a.c. electric locomotives in their new habitats across Eastern Europe.
