The history of the repair of railway rolling stock is a sparsely-documented field. Understandably the design and construction of railway vehicles, especially locomotives, has a far greater general appeal than the important task of maintaining the locomotives, carriages and wagons in a serviceable state to enable them to perform their function in a safe and economical way. Yet the cost of a railway vehicle’s main workshop repairs over its total life will amount to some four times the original cost of production.
