Central Division Miscellany – BR Days.

By Noel Coates

FOR someone whose knowledge of the locomotives of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway was limited, this publication proved extremely informative.

Illustrated with more than 550 evocative photos of ex-L&Y rolling stock during the BR era, their design and usage is well addressed with extensive and highly informative captions. The quality of the print reproduction is very good given the age of the material and the publishers are to be congratulated for the quality of reproduction.

This book will appeal to many, from the L&Y enthusiasts through to the modellers who require clear photos showing liveries and detail differences displayed by individual locos over a number of years. A further positive is the cost – just £18 for 194 pages in a hardback book is exceptional in 2022! Overall, highly recommended. AB
