At first glance, this seems to be a book aimed at people who build models of NZR vehicles. However, the crisp photographs and elegantly written text gives such a great insight into the history of rail vehicles from a bygone era, it will be of immense interest to anyone with an interest in New Zealand Railways. There are clear descriptions of spotting differences in the various sub-classes of the subject wagon type and numerous diagrams to explain the less obvious features. Anyone familiar with the Ocean Beach collection will doubtlessly be intrigued with coverage of the H and T cattle trucks, as well as the highside L and La's and the Kc / Kp box wagons that are also part of our fleet.
