Wagon of the BR Era: 1948 – 54

The period covered by this publication is from the days just after Britain's railways were nationalised through to the end of 1954 just before the Modernisation Plan was announced which had a profound effect on the freight stock and types of traffic. Each wagon type that was in existence during this period is examined with reference to the Wagon and Diagram Number Series as contained in the BR diagram books. Packed with information and photographs, this is a valuable reference source for all railway rolling stock enthusiasts, historians and modellers. 130 b/w photos. 96 pages. Softback
