It is 25 years ago, but this is not a great rain smash as all the earlier and most of the "current" models (apart from the last few years are covered.

When I have time I will do a book review and give an idea of the contents!

I've just ordered it from a used bookseller in UK via AbeBooks. Will be interesting to see it, although I'm having it sent to my nephew's address in UK so it might be a few months before he finds a way of getting it out to Kenya for me.

Incidentally I've always found AbeBooks to be a very good online source of used railway books.

Itpretty good for the early locos, especially on the technical side!

The book will be available sometime in november:

Here from the last mail from JEAN dulez:
Hi David,
I have been again to the printer this week and the pages are at last ready and going to book binding. We should now have book copies within 2 weeks, so will let you know in due course.

Regards
Jean

How much David?

Sorry, I don't know the exact price (approx 500 ZAR), please ask VIDRAIL (info@vidrail.co.za)

Thanks!

John,

Apologies. I just visited this thread for the first time in months, and didn't see that you'de asked a question back in August ( about the author ).
I think that Kevin answered correctly, though.
But I'll check when I get home tonight.

Just today I received by a circuitous route my copy of Bernard Zurnamer's 1987 book (ordered from a specialist bookseller in UK, sent to my nephew's UK address and finally brought to Kenya by my brother-in-law who has just arrived to visit us for a birdwatching trip). It looks interesting.

Must look out for Jean Dulez's book now.

I've just been looking online for Jean Dulez's book and I can't find it anywhere. I can't see it on the two links given in previous posts, nor on Amazon, Kalahari or Abe Books. Any ideas, anyone?

I can try at the Aviation Shop for you.

I have'nt really bothered to look for myself as it is a bit pricy if it R 500.00 odd (as indicated above).

Vidrail and the Aviation Shop show it and there is mention by Reefsteamers etc. But everyone seems unable to give a price! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Perhaps someone can say exactly how much it is? Or how much they paid?

Thanks, Kevin. I must be doing something wrong as I looked at both Vidrail and Aviation Shop and couldn't find it on their websites. Can you give me the links to the actual page it is on on both sites?

I have Jean Dulez's e-mail address from correspondence in February this year.
If anyone wants it, let me know, and I can PM it to you.

I do not believe this!

It was on both sites - it has definetely been removed from the Aviation Shop pages (I had it book marked).

And I cannot now find it at all on Vidrail (which is after all his own site!).

I give up!
