[ED: Hardcover (Hardcover)], [PU: RCL Publications], Sauberes Exemplar mit geringen Gebrauchs-/Regalspuren. Mit Fadenbindung und Lesebändchen. 224, XXXI Seiten. Mit zahlreichen teils farbigen Abbildungen. ISBN-10: 095651572X. EAN/ISBN-13: 9780956515728. Klappentext/Beschreibung: EINBANDTEXT: THE 60cm GAUGE LIGHT RAILWAYS of the Great War (1914-1918) continue to exercise a fascination almost a century after their creation. Both the Allies (Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and later the USA) and the Central Powers (Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire) employed narrow gauge railways for the tactical re-supply of troops in forward areas. Whilst the French and to an extent the Germans sometimes used existing light railways, the lightly built 60cm gauge lines of the British forces were unique in their concept, origins and execution. The development of the »War Department Light Railways« (WDLR) - their official collective title - was different from anything which happened before or since their inception. Never previously had any group, business or government department organised a new railway network (of any gauge) on such a grand scale and at such short notice. A most important point about the concept of the WDLR is that its birth came about during a brief »window of opportunity«, following the successful development of small internal combustion powered locomotives but before the perfection of the robust »cross-country« pneumatic tyre. Within a decade, the all-wheel-drive, pneumatic tyred, i/c engined road truck would enter military service, at a stroke rendering the light railways obsolete whilst tracked armoured fighting vehicles (both tanks and self-propelled artillery) would restore mobility to the wider battlefield.
