Following nationalisation in 1948, the newly created British
Railways continued to construct coaching stock based upon the
designs of the 'Big Four' railways until 1951. The
Pre-Nationalisation coaching stock built by the four constituent
railway companies at the Grouping in 1923 - the Southern Railway,
the Great Western Railway, the London, Midland & Scottish
Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway - continued to
feature in the BR fleet through the 1950s to the mid-1960s, as well
as some coaching stock built before 1923 by the precursor railway
companies to the 'Big Four'. A number of these pre-Nationalisation
coaches are preserved today on various heritage railways around the
country or in railway museums. This is a complete list of the
coaching stock inherited by British Railways from the Great Western
Railway and London & North Eastern Railway including any
pre-Grouping stock still in use when the railways were nationalised
in 1948. The book covers passenger as well as non-passenger
coaches, including corridor and non-corridor stock, sleepers,
buffet and restaurant cars, horse boxes and other non-passenger
vans, griddle cars, milk tanks, etc. Conversions to departmental
stock are also listed. The information in the book is organised by
'Big Four' company and each individual coach is listed, with
details of when it was built, introduction and withdrawal dates.
Alongside the tabular material will be a line drawing of each
carriage type and a selection of mono photographs illustrating
examples of the various types of coach being described.
Encyclopaedic in coverage, this new volume in the Hugh Longworth
library continues in the same style as previous volumes with
completely comprehensive detail combined with reference
illustrations and photographs. An essential addition to the railway
enthusiast's library. A companion volume of the coaching stock
inherited by British Railways from the Southern Railway and London,
Midland & Scottish Railway will be published in 2018.
