Goods Wagons of the NSW Railways 1905- 1960 Four wheel Vehicles

Ian A Dunn

Continuing its series on the rolling stock which has served the railways of New South Wales, Eveleigh Press now presents Ian Dunn’s Goods Wagons on the NSW Railways 1905-1960, Four Wheel Wagons, a 336 page volume which charts the growth of the NSWGR’s wagon fleet over the half century, from 1905 to 1960, as well as private wagons which ran on the NSWGR. Mass produced steel open wagons (S wagons), standardised sheep and cattle wagons, refrigerator cars and more specialised vehicles were introduced. Service vehicles are included, such as water tanks, gas reservoirs, breakdown cranes and workmen’s vans. Wagon construction, engineering and paint schemes are given a chapter. The personalities who directed the development of the rolling stock are outlined, shedding light on some curious episodes. There is a chapter on each type of wagon or van, photographs of each, generally illustrating a number of variations, and many official general arrangement drawings. This book supplies most
of the answers for those seeking to understand the development of the NSWGR and its goods wagon fleet in the 20th century.

Goods Wagons on the NSW Railways is a 279mm x 208mm (portrait) in size, 336 pages with a coloured dust jacket.
