BR Parcels and Passenger Rated Stock Vol 3

Author: David Larkin

Publisher: Kestrel Railway

Format: Paperback, 96 Pages

Price: AUD $27.95
RRP: AUD $39.95

The first five Kestrel Railway Books volumes by David Larkin looked at the revenue-earning wagon fleet operated by British Railways and its successor, British Rail. These were followed by a series of three books looking at the specially-designed wagons that were used for track maintenance, and we now see the third of three volumes (originally planned as a two-volume series) covering parcels and passenger-rated stock.

All parcels trains required a vehicle in which the guard travelled, and there was usually space for a parcels-related load as well. This volume looks at the self-propelled parcels vans, travelling Post Offices (TPOs) and the various car-carrying vehicles that were used on Motorail services.

Volume 1 was published in August 2014, followed by Volume 2 in March 2015. Kestrel are already receiving enquiries about Volume 3.
