Book Description
In the 1960s, Terry Gough realized that the traditional goods wagon was rapidly disappearing from British Railways, so he set out to measure, photograph, draw and eventually model as many wagons as he could find.To augment these early observations, Terry continued to gather information from the many wagons that have been preserved in the intervening years.The result is a comprehensive survey of wagons used on the Southern Region of BR that had survived from the pre- and post-grouping eras. For each wagon, there are full details, dimensions, livery details, variations and conversions together with excellent photographs of the prototypes and 4mm scale drawings produced especially for the book. Diagram numbers are also included to aid reference to previous published works on SR wagons, and where examples of wagons can still be seen on preserved lines, full location details are given. This book is not intended to replace the existing standard works on the wagons of the Southern Railway and its constituents, but builds upon those books to present a large selection of freight vehicles that could have been seen from the 1900s, through the BR years, and in many cases to the present day in preservation.

Book Description
This book, the final volume in the Illustrated History of Southern Wagons series, takes a detailed look at the wagons built by the Southern Railway from 1923 to 1948. Previous volumes have covered the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, the London & South Western Railway and the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway. The authors examine all the wagon types, including open and closed goods wagons, livestock and timber trucks and coal wagons built by and operated by the Southern Railway between 1923 and 1948. Southern Railway goods wagons could be seen throughout Britain but the Southern Railway itself operated from Kent right across the south of the country as far as Plymouth and Padstow, including south London. The book is well illustrated with an informative selection of photographs and line drawings produced specifically for this volume, most of which are drawn to 4mm scale and are especially useful to modellers. The great array of illustrative content is supplemented by well-informed text and detailed appendices.Both comprehensive and definitive, An Illustrated History of Southern Wagons Vol 4 is sure to become an essential source of reference for all those enthuslasts and modellers interested in the history of the Southern Railway.

Book Description
In this new book, readers are treated to a huge variety of views illustrating numerous different vehicles from all three pregrouping companies that made up the Southern Railway, as well as vehicles built by the SR itself. The images portray the coaches both solely, in various formations, and sometimes in their final days, stored or in departmental use. Informative and detailed captions complement the illustrations. Liveries are also varied-red, crimson and cream, green, and even Bullied designs in BR Maroon. The author is well respected and will need no introduction to the railway fraternity. Renowned for his ability to locate amazing color images, his books on Southern matters have ensured a wide following, and this is certain to be no exception.
