VERY LARGE LANDSCAPE FORMAT 33cm x 28cm. The Author's fourth high quality large format landscape book, this time focusing on the steam operations in 'real steam' days of the Kimberley - De Aar ( South Africa ) railway line in the 1980's [ set out in geographical order]. A massive book with no attention to detail spared. Prospective purchasers are urged to consider the proline cover option. 160 pages, 225 photographs, enlivened with anecdotal information and an introduction.
Selected from 1000's of photographs taken over a decade, this is a Volume to treasure. Every page is available on Preview, so you can see exactly what it is you are buying. The Author believes this is only right, considering the inevitable high cost of 'print on demand' books.

We have just received our copy of this superb book and its just bloody brilliant. Anyone interested in the De Aar - Kimberley Main Line this book is for you - expensive but worth it. Having been with Dennis in SA at this time its a glorious reminder of main line steam.

This is the definitive book on Kimberley to De Aar in the real days of steam. If you only purchase one book on South african steam this has to be it.
