Description
Gordon Weddell has been synonymous with the detailed history of the carriage stock of the London and South Western Railway for many years. His three volumes of carriage drawings constitute the definitive work on the subject, and this companion volume completes the series by filling the miscellaneous gaps left by his own books, and those by other authors on the subject of LSWR rolling stock.
This book contains detailed information about nineteenth century LSWR goods and departmental vehicles, including gunpowder vans, cattle and china clay wagons, brake vans, travelling gasholders and cranes. In addition, it covers various other items that do not fall into any convenient single category, such as lineside structures, road vehicles, cranes, platform items, a shunting truck and the engineers’ inspection train.
The publication of this volume marks the conclusion of this authoritative series of books on the London and South Western Railway’s carriage stock. The book incorporates many highly detailed drawings, mostly to 4mm scale and numerous contemporary photographs. It also includes detailed information on building dates and the renumbering of vehicles.
