On-Track Plant 2009, by Roger Butcher/NPT Publishing
The 2009 edition of the On-Track Plant book is now out, and again it doesn't disappoint! This year it is sponsored by Colas Rail.
Like the last book, this edition is split into 5 sections:
- Large Plant - including new machines currently on order.
- Road/Rail Plant broken into sub-sections by type.
- Small Plant broken into sub-sections by type.
- Companies - lists of what each company owns.
- Disposals - mainly large plant disposals since the last edition.
The Road-Railer section doesn't list fleet numbers, but updates and lists will continue to be published on this website.
The book has 304 pages, and there are over 650 colour pictures depicting nearly every type of machine & road-railer.

Bill - latest news is that there won't be a "2011" edition due to a lack of investment in new machines...
Will post any updates when I hear about them.

Does this book list the engine-types used to power track-machines present and past? If not, any suggestions where I could find that?
Thanks in advance,
Neil Mackenzie

Not sure if the book gives these details, but you could ask on the forum here about certain machine types and probably get a reply.

Hi there - Namely the enigine types used in the larger rail-grinders:
Speno RPS 32-2 Rail Grinder
Loram/Hunslet Barclay SPML17 Rail Grinder
Loram C21(01) Rail Grinder
Last but not least - the old Speno sets:
Speno RPS 32-1 Rail Grinder
One of the two was returned to Speno in in Geneva1989. Did they keep it? I remember seeing them in the mid-80s.
Thanks,
Neil

Well, I can't help with engne details on the grinders, they was always run private in BR days. Roger is best placed to comment.
But, the Italians on the early Speno Grinders cooked a cracking breakfast, so I was told.

Sorry Neil, but I do not know the engines fitted to these machines.
I was also told of the Italians good breakfasts.
