TIA No, I'm sure there was only ever one print run. The cover image was changed from two Class 40s (IIRC) to the two withdrawn D600 Warships at Barry at a very late stage, the earlier image crept into the initial publicity and updating this took a while..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A green loco on the left to a blue one on the right reads better IMHO, as apposed to the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Class 40 cover have 40106 on the right? In which case author Russell Saxton may have come to the same conclusion - I can't recall now if he explained his thinking on the cover image change during our frequent email exchanges........if he did I may still have it........
