    Sulzer Power! North Wales & Cambrian Lines

    By Steve Morris

    IT’S a constant source of wonder that new books continue to appear featuring dozens, if not hundreds, off high h h quality, previously unpublished railway images.

    This new landscape format album by Steve Morris on behalf of the Class 40 Preservation Society (CFPS) is a great example of that phenomenon.

    Bringing together a superb selection of images taken in North Wales and on the Cambrian Lines between the early 1960s and the present day, it focuses on Sulzer-powered diesels of Classes 24, 25, 33, 44-46 and 47. While some of these classes had a long association with the lines featured, others were more fleeting – most notably No. 44008 Penyghent making a brief foray into North Wales with a farewell railtour in 1978.
