BR Parcels and Passenger-Rated Stock
Volume 3: Self-Propelled
Parcels Vans, TPOs and Car-Carrying Vehicles for Motorail Services
The first five
Kestrel Railway Books volumes by David Larkin looked at the
revenue-earning wagon fleet operated by British Railways and its successor,
British Rail. These were followed by a
series of three books looking at the specially-designed wagons that were used
for track maintenance, and now we see the last of three volumes covering
parcels and passenger-rated stock.
All parcels trains required a vehicle in which the
guard travelled, and there was usually space for a parcels-related load as
well. This volume looks at
the self-propelled parcels vans, travelling Post Offices (TPOs) and the various
car-carrying vehicles that were used on Motorail services.
Volume 1 covers full brakes, parcels & miscellaneous vans and car-carrying
vehicles. Volume 2 (out of print) covers horse boxes, special
cattle vans and vehicles for fish, fruit & milk traffic.
