This book covers the design of RT 1, the 2RT2s and the 3RT3s. When RT 1 entered service in 1939, no-one would have imagined that the type would be in London passenger service until 1979, almost double the life of its immediate predecessor, the STL. As with the RM, the type's early years in service were not without a number of mechanical problems and initial production was cut short by the outbreak of war. By the time production recommenced in 1947 numerous design changes had been made, all of which are detailed here.

Hardback. Etat : Fine. The Birth of the RT (2011) Tony Beard ? Capital Transport ISBN: 9781854143518 Condition: Fine (positively showroom) Vendor: Crappy Old Books This is the story of when London looked at buses and said, ?No, really, let?s do this properly.? The Birth of the RT is Tony Beard?s lovingly detailed account of how the AEC RT ?the classic, pre-Routemaster red double-decker?came into being. Before the RM stole the limelight (and the tea towels), the RT quietly turned up, did the job, and accidentally became an icon. Inside this immaculately presented volume you?ll find: The saga of how London Transport and AEC cooked up the idea of a standardised, modern, all-conquering double-decker to replace a fleet of elderly, characterful, mechanically dubious contraptions. Prototype sketches, early designs and engineering headaches, all tackled by people who thought nothing of designing a bus to last approximately until the end of time. Period photographs of RTs in their youth: shiny, upright and smugly modern, seen from every angle enthusiasts care about and normal people don?t admit they?ve learned. Fascinating detail on bodies, chassis, production, testing and the delicate art of convincing everyone that this new bus really was worth the upheaval. Enough RT trivia to make you quietly insufferable on London bus tours (?Actually, that?s not an RT, that?s??). Tony Beard writes for people who know the difference between an RT, RTL, RTW and RM ? and for those who don?t yet, but soon will. It?s part history, part engineering story, part love letter to a vehicle that ended up defining what a London bus looked like before the Routemaster turned up and did a dramatic hair flip. Now, about the condition : this copy is graded Fine , which, in the plain-speaking world of Crappy Old Books , means: The cover is clean, sharp and impressively fresh, as if it has spent its life in a well-run garage under good lighting, not rattling around in someone?s rucksack. The spine is straight, square and uncreased?no heavy loading, no corner parking, no mysterious ?bus enthusiast left it on the dashboard? fading. The pages are crisp, bright and firmly bound, with no coffee stains, thumbed corners or ticket stubs left as bookmarks. If there are any flaws, they?re so minor you?ll have to go looking for them, and honestly, you should be looking at the pictures instead. In book terms, this is basically a newly overhauled RT : mechanically perfect, cosmetically excellent, and ready for many more miles of service on the route between your armchair and whichever shelf you?ve dedicated to transport. Perfect for: Bus enthusiasts who can identify an RT at 200 yards in the fog and want to know exactly how it all began. London history fans who realise the city?s story isn?t just in the buildings, but in the red boxes that trundle between them. Model makers and rivet-counters hunting down that one photo which proves the destination blind font was slightly different in 194x. Anyone who just finds old buses inexplicably comforting and wants a beautifully produced excuse for that feeling. The Birth of the RT is the definitive, affectionate account of how a ?modern standard bus? became a classic in its own right?long before its younger sibling, the Routemaster, started hogging all the nostalgia. Available now from Crappy Old Books , where our stock is niche, our grading is honest, and some of our finest titles still smell faintly of engine oil and damp bus depots (purely in the imagination, we promise).
