In this new book, readers are treated to a huge variety of views illustrating numerous different vehicles from all three pregrouping companies that made up the Southern Railway, as well as vehicles built by the SR itself. The images portray the coaches both solely, in various formations, and sometimes in their final days, stored or in departmental use. Informative and detailed captions complement the illustrations. Liveries are also varied-red, crimson and cream, green, and even Bullied designs in BR Maroon. The author is well respected and will need no introduction to the railway fraternity. Renowned for his ability to locate amazing color images, his books on Southern matters have ensured a wide following, and this is certain to be no exception.
