Blue Diesel Days

Rail Blue existed alongside steam for more than four years; indeed many of the specials which were operated in the run up to the final demise of steam traction in August 1968, often included coaching stock painted in this livery. In this follow-up to the widely acclaimed "Green Diesel Days", the author portrays through some 170 colour illustrations, the railways as they existed in the period from the mid-1960s through to the mid-1980s.
