160 pages; over 200 illustrations; fully referenced with notes & sources; supported with an index and bibliography. This is a unique, authoritative and richly illustrated account of the aesthetic development behind the prototype Class 89 locomotive – British Rail's first and only 125mph electric six-axle design. The book draws on the official British Rail archives and first-hand interviews with those involved in the industrial design exercise. Styling of the Classes 90, 91, the Advanced Passenger Train and the Channel Tunnel shuttle locomotive is also discussed in some detail.
