The task was expected to take twelve years, with tenders being called for forty Co+Co electric locomotives capable of hauling tonnages never seen in Australia to that date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePortrait of a Classic covers the history of the introduction of electric locomotive haulage in NSW, including the experimental unit, and the introduction and operation of the 46 class, through to the final scrappings in 1998. The detailed text covers topics not seen in a book on this subject before, especially for railway modellers and locomotive historians alike, the numerous changes applied. The work is highly illustrated with photos, many which have never been published before, and which highlight the various and differing tasks allotted to the 46, from express passenger trains to the slow moving 1,000 ton bulk export coal trains. The author, Shawn Rannard, is new to the author scene, but writes with the experience of thirty-four years in the Traffic Branch of the New South Wales Government Railways and their successors, twenty months of which were spent as a guard, occasionally working a 46 class-hauled train.

For almost a century there has been a morning passenger train from Goulburn. It has provided the populace of the southern tablelands region of New South Wales with a means to travel to the city and return home the same day. For nearly 60 of those years, that train was known officially as the Southern Highlands Express. In this volume of Australian Trains we look at the history of this famous train and also its lesser-known, but equally important sister service, the Moss Vale passenger. Together, these two trains were the last steam-hauled services to traverse the main Southern line. 64 pages - soft cover - over sixty illustrations, many in colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eveleigh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42503383777328,"sku":"AUSTTRAINSSHX","price":22.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9781\/8416\/files\/austtrainsshx_748f7aef-1725-407e-8401-cb29b6722df9.jpg?v=1761030521"},{"product_id":"byways-of-steam-9","title":"Byways of Steam - 9","description":"\u003cp\u003eNSWR Steam Locomotive Depots: Wellington;
