David Wilson Ba\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is, effectively, the sequel to the popular \"In Memory\" series in which I documented my footplate life in the last years of steam. Clag \u0026amp; Rockets is all about 'Locomotive Practice \u0026amp; Performance' and specifically the years 1964 and 65 at Nine Elms. The book covers 18 different runs with 16 different locomotives of the classes; Merchant Navy, West Country, Battle of Britain and both rebuilt and original Bulleid designs. The types of duties worked with these engines include an 'enthusiast' special, the TPO, a run with the down Royal Wessex and setting a record on the 'Weymouth Mails'. If you are a fan of Bulleid's Pacifics and want to know more about the outstanding performances of which they were capable, in their final years - this is the story of how it was from the man with the shovel in his hand and his name in the record books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 19, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710076325951,"sku":"9798615414473","price":21.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2f2026af8573281b22ab47c6f9cff9b1.webp?v=1765053691","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/clag-rockets-practice-performance-from-the-footplate-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
