Southern Coaches Survey Volume 2

Southern Coaches Survey 2 is the next in Mike King’s series on Southern Railway rolling stock. In this volume we concentrate on ex-LSWR vehicles – from Victorian six-wheelers through to corridor coaches, LCDR bogie vehicles and SER six-wheelers, with a full record of the coaches themselves, their construction dates and details, dimensions, history and final withdrawal from traffic, their set formations and the duties upon which they were employed. There is also a record of a complete days’ observation at Eastleigh for Whit Saturday, 1932. The format follows that established in the first book (published in late 2019), with more than 70 4mm scale drawings and 150 photographs, carriage and set numbering tables and will enable modellers in particular to reproduce these trains in their chosen modelling scale. The book will also appeal to all those interested in the Southern Railway and how our parents and grandparents travelled in the golden age of steam railways – from the Victorian era to the 1950s.
