| Summary: | The first wagon number listing book that I am aware of, this came out in 1984 but the promised series of further titles never appeared. |
| Review: | This seems to be the grand-daddy of all wagon number books, appearing in 1984 as the first of a promised series that (as far as I know) never materialised. With card covers, four black and white photos and just 28 pages, it covered the air-braked hoppers of types HAA/HDA, HBA/HEA and CBA. Aside from lists of numbers (including showing withdrawn wagons) and a brief introduction, the book also featured drawings (actually BR design sheets) for the three main types. |

Subtitled as 'Part 1', this book covered the air-braked hoppers numbered in the 350000-368459 range, plus the CBA lime wagons 250000-250056
Typical inside page with specification details followed by lots and lots of numbers. |
