Peter J Green first photographed Class 50 diesels in action in 1975, while they were still being transferred from the London Midland to the Western Region of British Rail. But it was in the early 1980s, when they were named and painted in Large Logo livery, that his interest in the class really took off.
For Peter, they stood out from most other locomotives that were painted in the rather drab Rail Blue livery. The sound of the locomotives, particularly when running at speed, was also very impressive, producing shouts of '50!' from waiting photographers, even before the train was in sight.
The class became a particular target for his railway photography and many of his trips were made with them in mind.
Class 50s regularly worked trains around his home town of Worcester, so if he did not want to go too far, it was easy to find a satisfactory subject at which to point his camera. Before their withdrawal in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they were used on many railtours, which always provided good photographic opportunities.
Today, with many of the class working on heritage railways, and a number of privately owned locomotives registered for main line use, there is still plenty to keep his cameras occupied.
A selection of Peter's best photos of the Class 50 diesels, taken over a period of forty-five years, appear in these pages.

English Electric Class 50 Diesels - From the Western Region to Preservation
Język: angielski
Unusually for a large class of locomotives, all Western Class locomotives had the same prefix which gave them a unique identity. Redesignated as Class 52 in the early 1970s, they were essentially designed by and for the Western Region, which saw hydraulic transmission as the way forward in replacing the 4-6-0 steam locomotives that Swindon had produced.
However, the rest of British Rail went down the road of electric transmission as the mistakes of the wholesale lunge into dieselisation came to fruition, and when BR opted for a standard policy the Western Region was forced to comply.
It was in 1967 that the death warrant for the hydraulics was signed, though it would take more than a decade to finally end the hydraulic era.
Illustrated with full-colour photographs of all 74 of the Western Class locomotives, on a variety of workings that illustrate their versatility, this nostalgic volume gives a portrait of a much-loved, but short-lived, class of locomotive.

Western Class Locomotives: A tribute (Class 52)
Język: angielski
This photographic album portrays the four classes of locomotives introduced to operate on the British Railways system, prior to Privatisation in 1994. Increasing loads and deteriorating reliability of older classes necessitated the design of new, higher horsepower classes of diesel locomotives.
The four classes included one American design, the class 59, which set new standards in haulage capacity and reliability. The other three designs classes 56, 58 and 60 were more suitable to their tasks than previous models, but in the case of the class 56, suffered a poor repuatation for availability for several years, although the few remaining members of the class have now attained acceptable standards.
Of the four classes, a small number of class 56s operate in private ownership, all the class 58s have been withdrawn, but all the class 59s and 60s are in daily use throughout England and Wales.
This album has been written by David Cable, author of a series of illustrated books covering railways in the UK as well as overseas. The book shows examples of all four classes working a variety of duties at a wide range of locations.

An album of photographs, mainly taken by David Cable, a well-regarded author of a number of picture albums, covering trains both in the UK and in many countries worldwide. The class 50 was an express locomotive built in the late 1960s and withdrawn at the beginning of the 1990s. Nicknamed hoovers because of their distinctive noise, they were a favourite class of many railway enthusiasts, resulting in several having been preserved.
The photos demonstrate the many areas of operation and duties undertaken by these locomotives, initially in the North of England and Scotland, and then regular duties on the Western region and finally the Southern lines from London to Exeter.

Class 50s are probably one of the best-loved diesel locomotives that have run on British Rail. Fifty of these powerful, English Electric-powered locomotives were built by EE at their Vulcan foundry from 1967 onwards. They were ordered to work express passenger workings on the northern end of the West Coast Main Line before the advent of electrification.
They performed these duties until the first members of the class were transferred away to the Western region in 1974. Here they eliminated the Class 52s from both passenger and also freight workings.
All fifty locomotives found their way to the Western Region, and then from 1979 all members of the class visited Doncaster Works for a full refurbishment, which included repainting into large logo livery.
The first member of the class was withdrawn in 1987, and by this time the class were split between Network South East and the Civil Engineers department. A large number of the class received Network South East livery before the final members of the class were withdrawn in 1994.
Quite a sizeable number found their way into preservation, but unfortunately some were scrapped having already been saved for preservation.
This collection of images includes a shot of every single member of this popular class.

Lokomotywy klasy 50 zostały zbudowane przez English Electric w latach 1967-1968. Powstało pięćdziesiąt egzemplarzy, które początkowo służyły do ciągnięcia ekspresowych pociągów pasażerskich na głównej linii West Coast Main Line między Crewe a Szkocją.
Pasjonaci kolei nazywali pociągi klasy 50 "Hooverami" ze względu na charakterystyczny dźwięk wydawany przez pierwotnie montowane filtry powietrza. Później pociągi klasy 50 przeniesiono do południowo-zachodniej Anglii, głównie na linię główną z Londynu do Exeter, a ostatecznie wycofano z eksploatacji w 1994 roku.

Pod koniec lat 70. BR przekonano do nadania klasie 50 nazwy na cześć okrętów Royal Navy, które odegrały znaczącą rolę w I i II wojnie światowej. W styczniu 1978 roku kapitan i załoga ówczesnego lotniskowca HMS Ark Royal nadali 50035 nazwę Ark Royal.
Nazwy reszty floty nadano w ciągu następnych kilku lat.
Klasa 50 zawsze cieszyła się popularnością wśród entuzjastów kolei, a 17 z oryginalnej floty liczącej 50 lokomotyw zostało zachowanych. Niniejszy podręcznik oferuje fascynujący wgląd w projekt, produkcję, eksploatację i renowację Klasy 50.
