Malcolm Clegg has been taking railway pictures since the early 1960s, and also enjoys access to collections taken by friends who were recording the steam railway scene during this period. In this book, he covers a wide variety of classes of locomotives that were withdrawn during the last decade of steam traction, examples of some of which are now preserved.
