Klappentext/Beschreibung: KLAPPENTEXT: This is an attempt to tell the story of a highly eclectic collection of light railway motive power which often gets neglected but which nonetheless had its own charms. Railmotors (which one might define as freight or passenger carrying items of motive power) have, in general, not had an entirely favourable press among the enthusiast fraternity. Yet are the things really deserving of so little attention? After all, they have now been with us for over a century so the earliest, if they survived, would be genuine antiques. It was a lot easier to get the front seat in a railcar than to gain access to the footplate and one often got an absolutely splendid view. Nor were they uniformly dull as is often thought. Among them were eccentricities which could put any steam locomotive in the shade. As to geographical area, Western Europe is a cultural entity and its railway arrangements were surprisingly similar. This volume starts with a general survey to set the scene and then goes into more detailed study of the main developmental types steamcars; railbuses; 4-wheeled and bogie vehicles; direct and indirect drives; articulated cars and multiple units, with particularly interesting and typical examples of each. It is impossible in one medium sized volume to cover every variety of light railway railmotor that has operated in Western Europe, let alone mention every individual vehicle but the survey covers some 180 different examples or series from no less than 14 countries from Austria in the east to Portugal in the west and from the south of Italy to north Denmark. It is not a complete history but rather an historical trawl through a sea whose inhabitants are very varied indeed.
