Preserved Pre-1948 Railway Carriages by Royston Morris
Preserved (or heritage) railways have, in the majority of cases, at least one working steam locomotive and either a diesel unit or a diesel locomotive. 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 size 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 With nearly 200 previously unpublished images, Royston Morris looks at some of these often underappreciated stars of the preservation scene.
Royston has been interested in transport since early childhood, when he was always playing with toy cars, lorries and buses. In 1975 he became interested in trains and got his first camera as a birthday present. Since then, he has combined his two main hobbies of transport and photography and has taken over 30,000 transport-related images, featuring cars, trains, commercial vehicles, bicycles, aircraft, hot air balloons and horse-drawn vehicles. He is still taking photographs fifty years on and has a Flickr site which is regularly updated.
