NZ Railways | Secondhand

Secondhand. First published in 1956. This is a copy of the revised and enlarged edition 1965.

It describes some 160 different types of locomotives owned by the New Zealand Government Railways or constituent railways. It describes the various classes of electric locomotives in use in New Zealand, and deals in some detail with the development of diesel-powered locomotives. So complete is the book that it covers also the forgotten legion-- those small and often curious-looking locomotives which have served New Zealand railways on bush tramways, in quarries, and on construction projects.

Cavalcade of New Zealand Locomotives is one of the most comprehensive books of its kind to have been published.

VG. Minor foxing through the pages. The dust jacket is worn and with brown tape marks.
