Australia Steam Railways Appearing briefly in the middle distance, whilst crossing this landscape, an unidentified South Maitland Railway 2-8-2T and its train of empty wooden-bodied coal tubs heads for Weston after leaving East Greta – c.1971.(2″ square / 6x6cm)[914804]
Additional Information 2″ square (6x6cm) medium format negative surplus to our A.E. “Dusty” Durrant Collection.
Watermarks (not on original) have been applied to protect the purchaser.————————ooOoo———————— In 1949, whilst still a Premium Apprentice at Swindon Locomotive Works, Dusty Durrant began what he would later describe as his “World Bash” – 50 years of railway related occupation and travel through more than 50 countries. In 1967, he visited South Africa for the first time and was so impressed with what he saw that, after further travel experiences, he later decided to return to make it his permanent home and take up employment as an engineering draughtsman with the Union Carriage & Wagon Company at Nigel (Transvaal) – to the East of Johannesburg. This company had been set up by the Commonwealth Engineering Group (of Australia) as leader of a joint venture for the local assembly of new rolling stock – electric locomotives, multiple units and mainline coaches required for SAR’s major modernization programmes. He was thus in a position to indulge his passion for steam in a country soon to be recognized as a principal tourist destination for overseas railway enthusiasts. His photographic output was legend and soon became more widely known with the publication of such books as “Steam on the Veld”, “Australian Steam”, “Twilight of South African Steam”, “The Smoke that Thunders” (Rhodesia / Zimbabwe), “PNKA Power” (Indonesia) and several locomotive treatises.————————ooOoo————————PLEASE NOTE : Scanning has been done simply to provide an acceptable representation of the material on offer. Any serious faults and blemishes should have been observed and a suitable comment made if the subject matter was deemed to be worth offering. In the case of genuine oversight, we will be prepared to reimburse purchasers (or offer a suitable replacement).Our CollectionFrom a large collection of fine transport material accumulated over many years that now needs to be reduced, due to space limitations. Other material will continue to be added to the Prorail UK shop on a regular basis, specially selected to enhance your collection.Look out for other selections of books, magazines, photographic images (negatives & transparencies) and prints, postcards, tickets, timetables – and general railwayana, from this extensive source.PaymentWithin the UK, payments may be made by personal cheque or postal order – or by PayPal.International bidders are always welcome, when small items will be sent by an appropriate method.PAYPAL is the preferred payment method for international bidders. HOWEVER, due to recent experience of “chargebacks”, it has been decided that the default option for overseas postage must now cover full “tracking” – such as Royal Mail’s “International Signed For” or “Airsure” services.Bidders known to us who use PayPal will be able to continue using standard services but MUST AGREE TO ACCEPT ALL RISKS involved. Other payment methods are still available within the Euro area and all existing arrangements will be honoured.Postage & PackagingPostage & Packing is not just the price of a stamp. Postcards, tickets and negatives need care in wrapping and despatch, so it is not sensible to “economize” in that area.Such items are sent in cardboard envelopes, carefully inserted and properly sealed; bulkier items may require bubble packaging. Even though we are now offering inclusive pricing – covering free or subsidized postage, no relaxation of our established standards will be allowed. Whether selling for 2 or 200, all items are afforded the same level of care and attention.To contain steadily rising costs, we will now be listing items for UK (domestic) delivery at a starting price inclusive of 2nd class postage.At our discretion, should the selling price permit – or where multiple purchases can be despatched at the same time – 1st class postage may be used. International purchasers will not be affected by these changes; the rates quoted for airmail to external destinations being based on the actual cost of postage less the inclusive UK rate (but uplifted to cover eBay charges levied on the p+p amount).HomeAbout UsShippingReturnsView FeedbackAdd to Favourites
