Drawing upon the work of many of the finest railway photographers, the book recalls many of the great occasions on which the locomotive has operated on the main line. Organised along the basis of a day in the life of No 6024, the superb pictorial content records scenes from the locomotive's operational career, from the early morning through to the end of the day. Apart from the excellent pictorial content, the book also includes a detailed narrative of the history of the class and of No 6024's preservation. Also featured is a full diary recording all of the trains operated by No 6024 on the main line since the locomotives return in April 1990.
