NZR Carriages

The story of NZR early Passenger Carriages has been told in infinite detail by John Agnew in a series of articles published in Railfan spanning 11 years. With the first article appearing in December 2008, which looked at early car-vans, and ending with an article on Troop movements and Royal visits in December 2020. Sadly Railfan ceased publication then and what I presume were the last 2 articles in the Royal Visit series never got published. Given there are no articles covering the cars from about 1900 onwards, suggests this overall series could have continued for some time yet.

As it is the intention to summarise each of these articles in the future, Links to each magazine issue are given as well in the table below.

As a ready reference, here is a list of all the articles in order of publication:
