AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF BRITISH RAILWAYS' WORKSHOPS
Published by Heathfield Railway Publications. 1st thus. 2009
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Building and Maintenance from 1825 to the Present Day. Most British railway companies established their own workshops for the construction and maintenance of locomotives, carriages and wagons. Whole towns built up around these massive, self-sufficient complexes, and names such as Ashford, Crewe, Derby, Doncaster, Eastleigh and Swindon will always be associated with their railway origins. This is the story of these works and their products, from the earliest days of the railways. Large format. Pictorial glazed boards. B/w photos and track plans. 184 pages.
Minor foxing and browning to top edge of text block else a lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed and edge-creased.
