This comprehensive history of these unique locomotives covers
everything from performance issues to sightings, detail differences
and liveries. The Type 2 Bo-Bo Diesel-Electric Classes 21 & 29
locomotives were constructed by the North British Locomotive Company
in the early 1960s. Used in the Scottish region of British Railway,
they ran into numerous problems and were withdrawn from service within
a decade. Due in part to their short careers, these locomotives remain
something of a mystery to train enthusiasts. The scant information
available on them is very often riddled with misinformation. This
authoritative volume corrects the record, presenting the most
comprehensive and accurate account of the NBL Classes 21 & 29. Fully
illustrated with photographs and detailed line drawings, this volume
offers individual locomotive histories, complete technical
specifications, accident and fire damage reports, storage histories,
and a complete account of their disposal at both private companies and
Glasgow Works.
