Historically, the International Steam Pages consisted mainly
of news summaries and trip reports. Over the years a number of more
comprehensive features have appeared and this page attempts to summarise them.
Necessarily they cover a diverse range of subjects. In each case they are broken
down in 'chapters' making it easy to work through them in stages. Click on
any picture with a caption to view a larger version of the picture and click
again for the original page, most pages
have a map available.
PNKA Power Parade Gold
(25th August 2024)

2024 marks 50 years since the UK based Continental Railway
Circle published this classic book; it also marks the 50th anniversary of my own
first visit to Indonesia. To celebrate the occasion I've gone to my archives and
assembled some 250 photographs of all the classes illustrated in the book and
then a few more. Most have never been published and all of them are in black and
white as in the book in deference to Dusty Durrant who never took a colour slide
in the country. Just one appears in the book itself. Can you find it?

4000 pictures of over 500 narrow gauge steam locomotives at
