Narrow Gauge Downunder No.30

July 2008

Published by Gavin & Louise Hince

60 pages, A4 size, colour printed throughout.

This very well produced magazine is primarily directed to railway modellers but includes much prototype information.

This issue includes another article by David Fletcher on Baldwin locomotive painting styles, with special reference to 0-4-0STs (eg Sandfly), South Australian Railways X class 2-6-0 locomotives, and the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company’s 0-6-0T locos. It includes beautifully detailed colour reproductions of the liveries these locomotives were painted in when they left the Baldwin factory.

Other articles relating to prototypes include A class Climax locomotives in Australia (including some excellent photographs), and how to find timber tramway relics east of Powelltown.
