This is the third book in Antony Ford's acclaimed series on Pullman Cars. Previous volumes include; 'PULLMAN PROFILE No 1 -The 12-Wheel Cars' - 2008.'PULLMAN PROFILE No 2 -The Standard K-Type Cars' - 2010. This title is another beautifully printed volume, produced on heavyweight art paper, including illustrations and drawings. Also included are plans showing the second version of the renowned and well remembered Pullman Car, the 'All-Steel' type. Introduced in the years prior to WW2, many of these vehicles remained in front line service right up the end of locomotive hauled Pullman trains in the UK and as such have developed a rightful following. Fortunately a limited number survive in preservation. As with the previous volumes in this series, much attention has been paid to detail, the interior design, panelling and of course the famous Pullman table lamps. A worthy addition to the series and a must have for any railand transport enthusiast.
