ISBN: 186477021X. 32 pages b/w photos - isbn in book is 18647721X - The Victorian Railways T class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Victorian Railways between August 1955 and November 1968.They were the most ubiquitous class of diesel locomotives in the state. In July 1954 the Victorian Railways placed an order with Clyde Engineering for 25 (later extended to 27) diesel electric locomotives of their G8 type (based on the EMD GP-7/GP-9 general-purpose locomotive that was a massive sales success in the USA at the time) to partially dieselise country branch lines.In June 1959 the first of an additional ten entered service. Although mechanically similar to the first batch they differed by having a cab raised above the hood line.[5] A further ten entered service from December 1961. In September 1965 the first of an order for 32 was delivered. These differed by having a lower nose. A final order for 19 was delivered from April 1967. The last five were built with an extra 10 tonnes of ballast weight for improved adhesion and low speed controls for use as shunting locomotives in Melbourne. These were reclassified as the H class shortly after being delivered.In July 1969 an additional flat top unit was purchased second hand from Australian Portland Cement who had ordered it for use at its narrow gauge Fyansford Cement Works Railway, Geelong in 1956. Although outwardly similar to the original T class units it was fitted with dynamic brakes, and became a regular on the steeply graded Cudgewa line.Although ordered as branch line locomotives, as branch lines began to close they were often used on main line services. $8.75 [RCB-150SC] Rae, Lou & Coen, Tony. 150 Years of Railways in Tasmania.

ISBN: 1876568372. 184 pages colour and b/w photos - The New South Wales 44 class locomotives were one of the first locomotives built by A. E. Goodwin in the Alco tradition. One-hundred of these DL500B units were built. Introduced in 1957, these locomotives have served every part of NSW, from services in the North and South, to the Indian Pacific. These units are very similar to the South Australian Railways 930 class. They have Alco 251 engines, which develop 1,450 kW (1,940 hp). This class had driving cabs at both ends. The front had a rounded nose (however not as round as the Clyde / GM "Bulldog nose" type) and a flat nose at the end on the locomotive. Most of the class were withdrawn in 1994, but many have been retained for further use by many other freight companies, and some have been preserved. $60.00 [ARMP-128] McNicol, Steve. 50th Annivesary of the Forgotten Classic 1948 - 1998 - a Companion Publication to Morris Oxford Series MO. Elizabeth, South Australia, Australia: Railmac Publications Australia, 1999. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Book. New / No Jacket. ISBN: 1864770015. 48 Pages with Black/White Photos. We couldn't let the -50th Anniversary of the introduction of the Morris Oxford Series MO pass without making some small contribution to mark this important milestone. Early in the year we produced a 50th Anniversary postcard and this was distributed at the Morris Registers National Rally in Australia during April, the 6/80 & MO Club's combined rally with the Morris Minor Owners Club in the UK two months later and the 6/80 & MO Club's first Australasian Branch National Rally in September. We then decided to produce a small book depicting a selection of the surviving cars, but as time progressed this project was amended slightly and we have added a little more text to make the book a companion to our 1991 publication Morris Oxford Series MO. With a number of events planned for 1998 we delayed publication until the latter part of the year additional research further extended the publication date into 1999. Although the Morris Minor received a great deal of publicity for its 50th Anniversary the Oxford received very little from the motoring press. In fact it was totally ignored by most commercial publications in the UK and overseas. with only a couple of the dedicated `enthusiast' magazines giving any mention at all. This was further motivation for us to produce this book ! $9.95 [ARMP-0185] McNicol, Steve. 800-Class Profile. Elizabeth, South Australia: Railmac Publications Australia, 2013. 1st Edition.
