The Steam Team at SMP are proud to announce the release of "1999 - The
Victorian Year in Steam" on 30 Nov 2000; stocks are now in most
Melbourne railfan and hobby outlets. Due to sell-out demand, a second
run of tapes today and tomorrow will see stocks going out to replenish
local and interstate stockists.
A two hour tape featuring over 50 operations including
* Double R class on an "Overland" recreation with spectacular night
vision and sound;
* Maldon "SteamFreight '99" action in winter weather;
* R711 on the Warrnambool, Ballarat and Bendigo lines;
* J515's struggle on Ingliston Bank;
* Bellarine Peninsula Railway easter steam extravaganza;
* Evocative night scenes in the city and country;
* Cab rides on R711 and R766;
* R class on regular service trains (for the last time due to private
management in Victoria now being "anti-steam");
* Puffing Billy and Alexandra Timber Railway action;
* Tender-to-tender double R class on a pass;
* Last run of R766 as a coal burner;
* Cover photo by noted railfan photographer Stuart Turnbull
We think it's our best tape yet!
RRP $42.95 (incl GST).
