"A historical Survey of the Railway Engine in New Zealand from 1863" was first published in 1956 it won high regard as an important contribution to this topic. Ten years later, soon after the centennial of rail in NZ, this revised and enlarged edition was released with new illustrations and text matter, and extending the coverage to 160 different types of locomotives. As with the first edition, this revision proved equally popular and collectable. Some of the locomotive types included were described or illustrated for the first time."
