Description

Because of their widespread use, this thorough and detailed account of the GWR's auto trailers should appeal to main-line and branch-line students alike. This volume provides an historical overview and considers many details including liveries. It also provides an individual account of each of the diagrams built by the GWR before 1923.

This definitive work, the result of great dedication, is beautifully illustrated and includes diagrams and some useful drawings.
