Between 1863 and 1971 the steam locomotive was the best known part of railways, and these steel kings of the steel road touched everyone's lives. Stories abound regarding the steam locomotive and what made them special. This is a history of the steam locomotives owned by New Zealand's national railway system. Numbering more than a thousand, they were enormously varied - ranging from little over five tons to almost 148 tons in weight, and from the occasional failure to trend-setting designs of international significance. This book combines the best available research with the largest collection of photographs on the subject ever assembled. Each locomotive is described by class with brief specifications, and information about the work each performed in New Zealand locomotive history.
