Ivor the Engine was a black & white BBC children's TV series that first ran for six episodes followed by two seasons of thirteen spisodes each in 1959. The series was revived in colour from 1975 to 1977 for forty episodes, twenty six of which were colour re-makes of the two earlier thirteen-part black and white seasons. The first six episodes were never re-made in colour. Only six novelisations have ever been published, first by Collins Picture Lions and then reprinted by other publishers.

Many thanks to Thom Winter-Gray for donating some books to my collection.
