Wagons of the Early British Rail Era - David Larkin - Bog - Kestrel Railway Books - Plusbog.dk

Wagons of the Early British Rail Era - David Larkin - Bog - Kestrel Railway Books - Plusbog.dk

David Larkin continues his comprehensive survey of freight wagons by turning to the British Rail era. 1969 has been chosen as the starting point for this volume as it was the first full year of non-steam operation.At this time, orders were placed for the first air-braked general purpose open and van designs, and a major step forward was the introduction of the TOPS computerised wagon record system in 1972. The air-braked fleet was separated from other wagons, firstly by code (ABN), and then by name - Railfreight. Compatible privately-owned wagons operated with BR-owned stock on set routes, echoing the old Condor and Speedlink services and on a par with Freightliner services.Profusely illustrated, like the other books in the series, this book includes a lot of diagram details, wagon number ranges, builders and livery details.

Non-Pool Freight Stock 1948-1968 - David Larkin - Bog - Kestrel Railway Books - Plusbog.dk

Non-Pool Freight Stock 1948-1968 - David Larkin - Bog - Kestrel Railway Books - Plusbog.dk

The first five Kestrel Railway Books volumes by David Larkin looked at the revenue-earning wagon fleet operated by British Railways and its successor, British Rail. These were followed by a series of three books looking at the specially designed wagons that were used for track maintenance, and then three volumes covering the parcels and passenger-rated stock. This is the second of two covering the ex-private owner fleet.When BR was created, it was intended that it should own all railway rolling stock, but legal action by some of the larger wagon-owning companies delayed things until 1951. Non-pool wagons were defined as privately-owned wagons allowed to run over railways owned or operated by the British Transport Commission. This series sets out the types of wagon eligible to be classified as Non-Pool and lists them individually with details of numbers carried, capacity and registration details where known. Volume 1 covered owners with initials A to H, and Volume 2 deals with the remaining owners alphabetically.

Civil Engineers Wagons Volume 1: British Railways 1948-1967 - David Larkin - Bog - Kestrel Railway Books - Plusbog.dk

Civil Engineers Wagons Volume 1: British Railways 1948-1967 - David Larkin - Bog - Kestrel Railway Books - Plusbog.dk

The five previous volumes in this series have looked at the revenue-earning wagon fleet operated by British Railways and its immediate successor, British Rail. This volume, however, is the first of three that look at the substantial fleet of specially-designed wagons that were used for track maintenance. They included open wagons to take fresh materials to site, ballast hopper wagons that could be discharged on site, flat wagons to convey new rails and carry old rails away for scrapping, and specialized brake vans to distribute ballast and take gangs of men to remote locations. Most of the wagon types seen in this volume were either built for the "Big Four" railways before 1948, or werederived from them; they are all fully covered together with their BR-built equivalents. Towards the end of the period, former revenue-earning wagons were transferred into the Civil Engineers fleet, and these are also covered in this volume. Finally, there is an examination of the telegraphic code names used to identify the genuine Civil Engineers wagons throughout the period, the reasons why they were necessary, and the original allocations of these wagons.
