Inhaltsangabe

This book reviews the development of rolling stock in 20th Century India across all the major gauges - broad, metre, 2' 6", and 2'. During the colonial era, underframes and sometimes entire vehicles were usually imported from Britain, but Indian railway companies had latitude in terms of body designs. Following Independence, India became self-sufficient in building rolling stock, and the designs were standardized across the railways. Each vehicle is described and illustrated with photographs, most of which have not been published previously. HO scale diagrams are provided for modellers.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Glyn was fascinated by ancient history from an early age - how civilisation developed, how life on earth developed, how our planet was terraformed and how the universe evolved. During a career working mainly in senior financial roles for large multinationals, the combined impact of dealing with corporate correspondence and keeping abreast of professional material precluded any opportunity to read for pleasure. Upon retirement in 2013, Glyn was able to immerse himself in the disciplines that beckoned - astronomy, archaeology and ancient history. To his astonishment and delight, our knowledge of these subjects has been utterly transformed over the period of his working life.
