LNER Wagons Volume Three - LNER Scottish Area

LNER Wagons Volume Three - LNER Scottish Area

The LNER was constituted from the North Eastern Railway, Great Central Railway, Great Eastern Railway, Great Northern Railway, Hull & Barnsley Railway, North British Railway and Great North of Scotland. All four of the grouping companies had an independent existence of just twenty-five years, before they were nationalised as British Railways, part of the British Transport Commission, from 1st January 1948.

Peter Tatlow has compiled a series of books for Wild Swan on the wagons absorbed by the LNER from its constituent companies and the standard wagon designs subsequently developed by the LNER. This the third volume in the series includes over 60 wagon types absorbed by the LNER from the former North British and Great North of Scotland Railways.

Volume One covered the ex-GN, ex-GC and ex-GE wagons absorbed by the LNER in its Southern Area and Volume Two deals with the ex-H&B, ex-NE and ex-M&GN wagons in the LNER North-Eastern Area. Volumes 4A and 4B conclude the series with coverage of the LNER standard wagon designs.
