Private Owner Wagons: A Seventeenth Collection

A Seventeenth Collection follows on the tradition of the previous volumes in this series in covering a wide range of Private Owner wagon operators from across England and Wales and carrying a diverse range of products. As with the previous volumes a resume of each operator’s business is given as fully as possible to give some idea as to how long the wagons may have been seen in traffic. Some were to be seen on the railway system for many years if the business was a success. Some liveries were short-lived if the business failed or if partnerships were dissolved and the wagon re-branded. As with the previous volumes A Seventeenth Collection adds to the knowledge of many small businesses using rail transport and as such is of interest to social, business and railway historians as well as to railway modellers.
