John Dedman examines the coaching stock found on Britain's railways through an intriguing collection.

A comprehensive, number-by-number record of each type of Mark 1 and Mark 2 coach operated by British Railways from 1951 onwards.

The first colour book to explore the development of coaching stock with vehicles from over 30 different railway companies, including London Transport and Great Northern Railway of Ireland. From a personal archive of colour images, the author has selected an outstanding compilation, tracing coaches from early examples to BR Mark 1s. Diesel railcars and electric stock are included, all with lengthy and informative captions.

The name Michael Harris will be synonymous with that as the acknowledged expert on LNER and a number of other types of railway coach. This book reproduces his work on LNER carriages.
