Patterns of Steam : Steam locomotives in Australia and New Zealand 1964-1985

TRAINS RAILWAYS
Patterns of Steam captures the last glorious years of steam on the railways of Australia and New Zealand, the period in the 1960s and early 1970s when steam locomotives were in decline, but were still operating, though in diminishing numbers, much as they had for generations. The photographs continue up to 1985 to provide a glimpse of Australia’s remaining industrial steam and the revival of preserved steam locomotives in tourist service. The publication of Patterns of Steam offers you the opportunity to obtain a magnificent and critically acclaimed book, encapsulating a railway era now gone forever, photographed and designed wholly by the author and printed and bound to the highest standards.
