Southern Coaches Survey

Following on from the author's previous successful books on Southern Coaches, this volume looks at an additional selection of classes of coaches that operated on the Southern Railway and the Southern Region of BR that have not so far been covered.The book concentrates on pre-Grouping and BR Mk1 types. Certain of the more common strengthening vehicles as well as some passenger vans (which might be seen anywhere in the country) are also included. Each different class is examined in detail in separate chapters. The detailed text is supplemented with scale drawings, photographs, set/coach numbering and some details of the services they worked upon and areas in which they could be found. This volume is aimed primarily at modellers and the drawings reproduced at 4mm scale - similar to those the author drew in Southern Coaches and Southern Pull-Push Stock.
