Train Doctor : Trouble Shooting with Diesel and Electric Traction
Train Doctor is the story of Roger Senior's career in the railway industry, from 1968 when the author joined British Railways, until his retirement from Great North Eastern Railway. The book takes you from the 1970's period, with its first generation Diesels, through to privatisation in 1994 and the electrified East Coast main line.
This will be of interest to enthusiasts and modern railway historians, with its inside look at the railway industry during a time of considerable change. The author began his career with first generation diesel classes, on the Eastern Region, of what was then British Railways and went on to work with the High Speed Train Fleet, when they were first introduced to main line service, in the 1970s. This is a story of troubleshooting, with many different types of modern traction over a period of twenty-five years, an insight in to the trials and tribulations of keeping the railway running, in all weathers and at all costs.
Roger Senior later worked with electric traction, both before and after privatisation, on the East Coast main line, finishing his career with Great North Eastern Railway as the Resident Engineer for the refurbishment of the MK1V fleet known as the 'Mallard' project.

How to Become a Successful Motorman - The 1908 Handbook for Trolley Car, Electric Locomotive and Interurban Motorman
In 1888, Frank J. Sprague built the first successful electric-powered trolley car system in Richmond, Virginia. A few years later he invented multiple-unit control, an innovation that allowed the creation of heavy electric elevated and subway systems.
The motormen and conductors who operated these trains, trolleys and interurbans were often trained using Sidney Aylmer-Small's How to Become a Successful Motorman. The book contains descriptions of electric railway systems and technology, operating instructions, and a series of quizzes designed to improve retention of the data.
This easy-to-read reprint is presented in 8.5 x 11 format, sightly larger than the original. Care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.

How to Become a Successful Motorman - The 1908 Handbook for Trolley Car, Electric Locomotive and Interurban Motorman
Die Diesellokomotive vereinigt verschiedenste physikalische Probleme und Herausforderungen und erfordert interessante technologische Lösungen. Weltweit werden die meisten Lokomotiven heutzutage von Dieselmotoren bewegt.
Doch eine Diesellokomotive ist ein kompliziertes Gefährt und selbst der Motor, der vor gut 100 Jahren vorgestellt wurde, ist noch entwicklungsfähig. Gerade in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten wurde die Elektronik in fast allen Bauteilen überholt. Besonders Hersteller wie Vossloh und Voith haben hierbei Impulse gesetzt.
Dieses Buch soll auf verständliche Weise einen Überblick über die zentralen Bauteile einer Diesellok und deren Funktion geben.
