Class 68 and Class 88 Locomotives

John Jackson, a lifelong transport enthusiast, opted for early retirement at the turn of the Millennium – and swapped the rat race for the rail tracks. Since then, he has travelled extensively on the British rail network with his camera as a constant companion. He continues to compile a photographic collection reflecting the UK rail industry that already extends to tens of thousands of images. He also has an interest in the history of his local county of Bedfordshire and John and his wife Jenny, together with their trusty cameras, have spent hundreds of hours meandering around their home county visiting each one of the parishes in the county, recording the churches.

'Overall this is a good photographic record of the Class 68 and 88 fleets that should be popular with enthusiasts of the locomotive and modellers too. I enjoyed flicking through the pages of this volume.'
