Railway Wagons represent an important
aspect of the history of our country and this project will allow them to take their
rightful place within our industrial and transport heritage. An important aspect of the project is to
survey each wagon's present condition and record sufficient information to be able to
assess its historical significance. Information is recorded on a computer database, so
allowing comparisons and information retrieval to be readily accomplished. Other benefits include helping towards
"Collections Management" - by allowing an assessment of how individual wagons
compare with one another, not only within any particular Railway's or Museum's collection,
but also when compared with similar wagons located at other sites within the UK.
The Wagon Survey Project is co-ordinated by The Friends of The National Railway Museum.
