Description

From a young boy’s awe and wonderment of a ‘living machine’, this book tells the story through the eyes of the author of the steam locomotive 3813 and what turned out to be the engine’s last run to Brisbane and return in 1973.

“James Whitfield has carefully researched and presented a great illustration of the ‘life and times’ of 3813, which will no doubt for many of us, bring back personal memories and reminiscences of this fabulous steam locomotive.” – Ian Sheppard, Transport Heritage NSW Life Member
