The LMS Coach
- The LMS Coach
- 1923-1957
- To the average traveller the railway carriage and its appointments are the most importants part of the train; yet surprisingly the carriage has featured little in railway literature.
- Messrs. Jenkinson and Essery, over a period of years, have studied the history and development of the coaching stock of Britain's largest railway, the LMS, recording in meticulous detail everything they could unearth in official and unofficial records. The result in this survey of LMS coaches from 1923 until the early 1950s when the last LMS designs were built.
- Although much detail of numbering, dimensions, weights, rebuilding, etc, is given tables, this is not dry history. The authors, while covering every possible facet of LMS carriage practice from construction to livery stables, have unearthed some fascinating material giving reasons behind the construction of various carriage types, particularly the luxurious Coronation Scot coaches which in the event turned out to be white elephants
- The LMS Coach is the definitive work on this subject.
