This is a book published in the States by Speciality Press in their 'Traintech' series. The European distributors are Midland Counties Publishing which is a part of Ian Allan Publishing. The series is working through American diesel locomotive types. General Motors' Electro-Motive Division quickly became the leader in diesel-electric technology and their 16-cylinder 567 diesel electric engine is at the heart of the GP7-GP20 diesel types. These early locomotives are illustrated by over 200 photographs, most of them in colour. Brian Soloman is a very experienced railroad writer with well over 20 books under his belt and many magazine articles. This book is bound to be welcomed by North American railroad enthusiasts and modellers in the UK.
