- For those with further interest, in particular towards engineering, the 1979 published "Class 47 Diesels" by Tayler, Thorley and Hill remains recommended - I see that I paid £4.99 on 7th January 1980 for this, rather splashing out from my student finances at the start of a term. I do recall that it felt expensive at the time, but more than 30 years on it is something of a privilege to have this book.
