This time we reflect on the years travelling and photographing steam trains on the NSWGR, up until the end of steam. Cadeco have returned to the larger format of “Northern Exposures” and retained the hard cover.
The new book is 168 pages of mostly black and white, starting with never before published photos from the 1930’s by Ian Gray’s Uncle Stan. There are some fabulous photos of 57’s out west, unrebuilt 36 class, and 35’s on the Caves Express. Fancy a 32 class on the Newcastle Flyer? It is all there. Moving forward in time, the works of Jim Powe, Leon Manny and Lindsay Buck, amongst others produced such shots as the Kurrajong line, Camden and much of the western line before electrification. There are 38’s on the South and other gems from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
With a 34 page colour section consisting of many not previously published images, plus more steam action up to 1973, we are sure this will be a great addition to any collection. Taking advantage of modern printing really highlights the images, which have been cherry picked from vast Black and White collections.
