A Brief Guide to a Class 50

These pages are designed to be a lay mans guide to what makes a class 50 work. They are not a complete engineering discourse but as in all things there is some jargon used. 

There are three articles here; two on what makes a class 50 go the other on how it is made to stop again. Essential parts of the system of getting goods and people from source to destination.

If anyone can add more details or would like to submit technical articles to this area of the site please contact the Webmaster to discuss your ideas.
