This all-colour album follows a similar style to the hugely successful 'in Colour for the Modelling and Historian' series and covers the history of electric locomotives in Britain. Gavin Morrison fills a gap in the market for literature on these specific locomotives with this new title. Promoted as part of the Modernisation Plan of 1955 the electrification at 25kV of the West Coast main line from London to Birmingham Manchester Liverpool and ultimately Glasgow was one of the most ambitious schemes to emerge from the Plan. Although there had been electrification of main lines before such as the short-lived line from Newport to Shildon and the LNER proposals for the Manchester-Sheffield line via Woodhead these routes had been selected primarily for freight purposes; the WCML plan envisaged the conversion to the most modern standards of one of the core main lines in the country. The conversion was to establish the standard for future work on the ECML and the GER route to Norwich. Work started in the late 1950s and although the first stretch was energized in 1960s it was not formally opened until June 1961. Thus 2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the formal opening of the first 25kV main line in Britain. Gavin Morrison provides a record of the various types of 25kV AC locomotive constructed over the past 50 years. Some of these classes are now as much a part of history as the steam locomotives that they were destined to replace whilst others remain at the forefront of main-line service. The book also includes a historical examination of the development of electric locomotives allied to hundreds of colour illustrations with detailed captions.
