Rear cover notes:  "From almost the earliest days of the fully mechanised railway, members of the British Royal Family have been inveterate train travellers - none more so than Queen Victoria.  However, it was for her aunt, the Dowager Queen Adelaide, widow of William IV, that the first genuine royal saloon was provided.  The preservation of this vehicle began a process, uninterrupted until the present day, that has conserved the principal railway saloons of all subsequent British monarchs and their families.  It has resulted in the British National Railway Museum at York becoming the custodian of the largest, finest and most varied collection of royal railway vehicles anywhere in the world.  Between Queen Adelaide's saloon and the 'modern' saloons of 1941 stand some ten other preserved vehicles of royal status or with royal associations, spanning a century of progress, development and social change.  Palaces on Wheels tells their story."

The London, Midland & Scottish Railway operated the largest fleet of passenger rated railway vehicles in Great Britain. Although it inherited many fine coaches from its constituents in 1923, it soon embarked on a massive standardization and replacement programme. This is the second of a three-volume set which illustrates and describes every type of vehicle introduced by the LMS to its standard designs, of which there were a large number of different types for the heavy and varied traffic conveyed by the railway. The vehicles covered in this volume include sleeping cars, dining, kitchen and buffet cars, side corridor coaches and vestibule coaches. This is a considerably enlarged revision of an earlier, single volume work on LMS coaches by the same authors that has been long out-of-print and much sought after by railway enthusiasts and modellers. More than 120 official diagams covering every type of general service gangwayed vehicle built for the LMS, most of which are reproduced in 4mm to 1ft scale (for 00 gauge). All coach numbers and renumberings are detailed.
