  While most photographers shunned the hated new diesels in the 1950s and '60s, John Gilks, whose intention was deliberately to record the whole railway scene, carried on as before. The result was an enviable archive of views from the 'Green Diesel Era', showing locomotives and DMUs, most themselves since consigned to history, running on lines many of which likewise did not survive the Beeching cuts.
