Written by members of the LNWR Society and edited by Chris Northedge, this is the last in a series of three volumes covering the wagons of the LNWR.
This volume describes coal, coke and hoppered wagons, departmental coal wagons, raile and ballast wagons, tramcar trolleys and brake vans. This is an engineering history aimed at modellers and restorers. Numerous official Earlestown drawings and constructional details are included together with photographs of each subject across all eras.
Volume One covers the company's works Earlestown where almost all the LNWR's wagons were built and gives an overview of the mechanical details and liveries applied to the wagon stock. The bulk of the first volume is then given over to the LNWR's open goods wagons plus cattle, timber, glass and furniture van wagons. Volume Two covered goods vans of all types and the bogie trolley wagons built to carry boilers and other heavy loads. These include the 'Rectank' and 'Warflat' vehicles purchased from the War Department after the First World War.
