This book is a natural companion to the many books detailing private owner wagons by owner/operator which have been published, including the Lightmoor volumes by Keith Turton and Ian Pope.
200pages, 275mm x 215mm, printed on gloss art paper with printed board covers.
The companies have been listed out alphabetically with the links between firms highlighted for ease of cross reference. This was necessary as many of the firms followed on one from another or had members of wagon building family dynasties connected with them - something which only became apparent when actually compiling the volume. It makes a wonderful contribution to British industrial and railway history forming an invaluable source both for historians and for those with an interest in carriage and wagon production.
