Acquired Wagons of British Railways Vol 6- Minerals, Opens & Vehicle‐carriers

The sixth volume in the series examines a varied and interesting range of wagons, many of which were designed and dedicated to quite specific traffic flows. These include the pre-1923 Minerals and large wooden/steel designs including those designed for the carriage of coke and 7 and 8-plank open wagons for general merchandise loads. Also included in this volume is a group of wagons which could be loaded with vehicles or other similar loads. This included the Lowfit types, together with the associated 4-wheeled car-carrying wagons and the heavier-duty designs, such as the Lowmac, the Hymac, the Rectank and the Warwell. This volume concludes with coverage of a diverse group of open wagons for specialist loads such as bricks, glass, roadstone, sand, sleepers, soda ash and sulphates.
