Bolster wagons, both four-wheeled and bogie types, are covered together with the four-wheeled plate, pipe and tube wagons. There were many conversions from the latter types and these are fully covered. Trestle plate wagons, both four wheeled and bogie, are examined together with other special types, principally the Weltrol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe volume closes with a look at the use of older acquired types in the post-1968 period, with a brief look at survivors in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAs with all the other titles in the series, it is illustrated throughout with around 200 black and white photographs.
