These books are very good value - the scanning of the slides is top notch as it the printing. They are available at Hobby Shops (yep, those places where you can buy model cars etc at) as well as most railway museums. Train Hobby publish these at A4 size, one picture to a page.
For those whop live at the 'good end' of the Hume Highway, the Sydney Tramway Museum has several Sydney Tram videos/dvds too, which feature the Sydney street scene circa 1950 to 1962 Cheers Brett |
