Description
Book SynopsisThis new title produced by expert Kevin Robertson concentrates on the coaches of the GWR in great detail. For the first time ever the coaches of the GWR are illustrated in full colour. There has been a renewed interest in the rolling stock of the old Great Western Railway in recent years. Whilst several books exist describing the history of the stock, this is the first title produced illustrating the subject in colour. Wherever possible individual vehicles are seen, none in preservation, all the carriages depicted either built by the Great Western, from companies absorbed by the GWR, or to a GWR design. Because of these deliberate limitations, the illustrations are particularly appealing and include HAWKSWORTH and Collett stock -with a feature on the ''Super Saloons'' and other ''Special Duty'' vehicles, the Toplight design, Restaurant Cars, Auto Trailers, as well as Camping Coaches and a limited number of former passenger vehicles in Departmental use.This new title includes carefully researched captions as well as, Diagrams and Lot and Running numbers. Kevin Robertson also brings the reader a wealth of colour illustrations, many of which have never been seen.
