In the first volume in this series Robert Hendry explored the evolution of the goods wagon on the railways of the British Isles up to roughly the end of the steam era. This second volume focuses on the vehicles built and used in the period from the 1970s up to the privatisation of Britain’s railways in the mid-1990s. The book looks in detail at the many and varied types of wagons which were built, largely by private manufacturers. It also portrays survivors from the earlier period which were still at work in a changing era and also examines some of the distinctive wagons used on the 5ft 3in gauge tracks across the Irish Sea. Packed with colour photographs to accompany the author’s informative captions, this is a ‘must have’ buy for all railway modellers.
