The first edition of this book appeared as a 272 page work three decades ago, its main aim being to provide a potted examination of the multiplicity of steam, diesel and electric locomotives that have graced this country from 1854. Since this first humble appearance, the book has grown in content, photography and style, and examining in some detail the massive technological changes that have swept onto the Australian locomotive scene. This revised, much enlarged 2007 edition will contain references and or direct entries to no fewer than 39 new locomotive types, considerable fresh research, and where possible, new photographs. For the first time, many of them will be in colour.
