| Summary: | A highly detailed study of the BR-built Brake vans and Ballast Ploughs. |
| Review: | Few types of wagon can warrant their own book but brake vans were sufficiently varied and ubiquitous. This title by the HMRS goes into levels of detail that were previously reserved for books on locos, with sections on alterations, liveries and brandings, maintainence and even the interior layouts. Given that BR built over 5000 traffic brake vans and just 221 ballast ploughs it is curious that 42 pages of this book are devoted to the latter. |
