LSWR
Carriages, Volume 3: Non-Passenger Carriage Stock Out of print
by Gordon
Weddell
The name Gordon Weddell
has been synonymous with the detailed history
of the carriage stock of the London & South Western Railway for many
years. Following
on from his LSWR Carriages, Volume 1, which described the development of
passenger carriages in the 19th Century, and LSWR Carriages in
the 20th Century, this volume contains
detailed information about passenger luggage vans, Post Office vans, ambulance
carriages, horseboxes and carriage trucks. (See also: LSWR Carriages, Volume 4: Goods, Departmental Stock and
Miscellany.)
It covers the lifetime
of the London & South Western and beyond, from vehicles built by the company
through to those built to its designs by the Southern Railway. A number of coach conversions and vans lasted well into the
second half of the twentieth century, including examples that ended their days
as grounded bodies at various locations.
Incorporating many
highly detailed 4mm scale drawings, LSWR Carriages, Volume 3 comprises
numerous contemporary photographs, together with detailed information including
build dates, renumbering, and
disposal details for all non-passenger
carriage stock.
