Also the child discount for the Network card...

Hi, as per the heading I was wondering if anyone was aware of a book or perhaps a website containing the depot allocations and dates of transfer of all diesel locomotives throughout their existence, I'm particularly interested in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than having to trawl through endless...
