Peter Tatlow provides readers a concise and detailed history of Railway Breakdown Cranes in Britain. One however, is that of Breakdown Cranes. There are few railway subjects which have not been published in detail in recent years.
Such is the case now with this new work by respected railway author and former BR Civil Engineer, Peter Tatlow. Possibly this omission is in part due to the technical nature of the subject and as such the ideal person to compile such a work would be an engineer. In what will build into a two-volume history, Peter has taken the subject from its early days through the time of the short-jib cranes to more recent history and the introduction and use of the long-jib variant.
Even so, many of the older types continued in use well into the late 20th century. As well as descriptive and informative text, included are numerous photographs and scale plans. Illustrations
