However, the main thing these railways need to keep them going is the general public coming along and riding the trains. It’s all very well having a decent-sized fleet of working locomotives, but without any carriages to carry people in, you might as well call your railway a museum. The carriages on a heritage railway are just as important as the locomotives.With nearly 200 previously unpublished images, Royston Morris looks at some of these often-underappreciated stars of the preservation scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56450595619190,"sku":"9781445697185","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_33988769.jpg?v=1760453532","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781445697185-preserved-pre-1948-railway-carriages","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
