Gottwaldt, A.: Der Schienenzeppelin. Franz Kruckenberg und die Reichsbahn-Schnelltriebwagen der Vorkriegszeit 1929 - 1939 95,00 €

With Franz Kruckenberg's propeller car, a revolutionary high-speed transport vehicle came onto German rails in 1930. It was characterised by its streamlined shape and lightweight construction. On 21 June 1931, the car reached a top speed of 230 km/h between Hamburg and Berlin! This richly illustrated volume presents the forerunners and the construction of the "Schienenzeppelin". The "Deutschlandfahrt" of the propeller-driven carriage in the summer of 1931 and its subsequent conversion to wheel drive are described in detail. Kruckenberg then designed the three-part "Flying Silberling", the creation of which is described in detail. Such ideas also inspired the Reichsbahn to procure its own high-speed railcars. During the following years, the state railway built up an entire network of "flying trains" with the various types of SVT. This volume describes these exciting developments at Kruckenberg and at the Reichsbahn with numerous unknown photographs, but also with newspaper reports, posters and caricatures from the pre-war period.

Sayer, Anthony P: North British Type 2 B-B Diesel-Hydraulic Locomotives, BR Class 22 - Volume 1 - Setting the Scene 39,95 €

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 06:25:24 +0200

The British Railways Pilot Scheme orders of 1955 included six Type 2 diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by the North British Locomotive Co., these being introduced during 1959 for use on the Western Region. Without operational experience, a further fifty-two locomotives were delivered between 1959 and 1962. The fleet survived intact until 1968, when approximately half of the class was withdrawn as a result of declining traffic levels across the UK, with successive National Traction Plans progressively selecting the less successful, non-standard and numerically challenged classes for removal from traffic. All fifty-eight locomotives were withdrawn by New Years Day, 1972. This book, the first of two, sets the scene surrounding the short history of the Class 22s covering the introduction of the fleet, technical aspects, appearance design, delivery and acceptance testing, works histories and allocations. Detailed individual histories of each of the fifty-eight locomotives are included.
