RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted June 2, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, Further to a recent question in the prototype questions area I purchased a number of books including the volume in the title: An Illustrated History of BR Wagons Volume One Compiled by P. Bartlett,D. Larkin, T. Mann, R. Silsbury, and A. Ward publ. OPC 1985 Having searched on Amazon, eBay, and Abe, as well as a couple of specific booksellers sites, I cannot find reference to a volume two. Was it ever published? Thanks for any help with this. Regards, Alex. Edited June 2, 2020 by Alex TM Updating title of thread to show question answered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted June 2, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi folks, Thanks for the responses. Southernman46, I have the Rowland book. The other one is new to me, though I have seen the 'airbrake' volume that accompanies it, and it looks useful. On the assumption that they are useful as each other, I have now ordered the unfitted/vacuum brake volume. Thanks for the pointer. Regards, Alex.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted June 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2020 As I understand it, the merry go round book by David Monk Steele kind of morphed into volume two in the absence of a follow up volume of various wagons, and very good it is too.

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted June 3, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hi Mike, Could you tell me what wagon types are covered by it? Thanks, Alex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted June 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2020 Unsurprisingly, merry go round wagons, although there is a lot more than rolling stock plans, it covers the whole aspect of MGR operations from pit to power station. It's also got the correct wagon drawing in it, as opposed to the MRC article. Highly recommended. Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, Phil, along with Presflo Fly Ash, Gypsum PGAs, Redmire hoppers and the HUO. There's also a lot of info on terminals and operation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
