Being of a certain age and having seen 58 048 / 049 half complete & 050 at Donny works as a frame: & years later bashing 58's on Sunday Nuneaton to Birmingham New Street drags I got quite a liking for em even more so when Eastleigh men learnt them. But anyway I got a copy of this book and it does not disappoint layout is really good with some great photos at start then each ex BR Manual is colour coded and even has a great pull out diagram. It's up there with the replica class 508 emu driver manual I brought on the BLS Farewell tours in 2024. If 58's are your thing back in the good old days. U NEED THIS BOOK in your collection.
