Picked up this hand book yesterday and after I flicked through it, I had to have it ! Very useful for anyone wishing to model a parcel depot or such. Unfortunately there is no ISBN on this book, but there are other books in the same series : 'BR Standard Freight Wagons', 'Private Owner Freight Wagons On British Railways' and 'Pre-Nationalisation Freight Wagons On British Railways. A few snippets of the contents... Cheers, Gary.
Great find. We have a secondhand book shop here. Have bought some very useful reference material there. Phil 🤓
Great find Gary - not sure about the top center photo - is that for washing the parcels, or carrying extra spittal for licking the stamps. Paul
Great find Gary, You can never have too many books. The van on the bottom right of the second photo down is the prototype of the kit that I recently advertised for sale.
Hello All, David Larkin is a now retired BR Guard, and has published numerous books on BR wagons with an emphasis on current stock up to Privatization. He once sold individual wagon drawings and pictures, though that may now have stopped . If you model BR steam era in particular his books are the an excellent scource, Best wishes and regards,Echidna
