Taihape in 'Clockwork Orange' days

A photo by Mark Cole of the Taihape, NZ, railyard in 1977 with a couple of then relatively new Dx class in their original yellow and orange livery in the centre-right.

Several changes have happened in the meantime.

This pic was intended for a now abandoned guidebook on the North Island Main Trunk, but there are other NZ railway books available.

ride the Inland Railway in summer, Sweden

Only 345 Swedish Kronor ($US 38) for a package price?  Well, it's a pamphlet from 1986 in our collection, so adjustments for inflation are needed.  The 14 day Inlandsbanan card now costs SEK 2,000 or $US 224.

The Inlandsbanan runs 1,363 km up the centre of Sweden from Kristinehamn to Gallivare (also a station on the Malmbanan -- see earlier) and needs two full days of travel, involving an overnight stop at Ostersund. In 1986 it was run by the SJ (state railway) but seems to be privately operated now.

steam loco with a passenger train on the Hejaz railway, Syria

No other info.  It could be either a 2-8-0 or 2-8-2 but it's too indistinct to be sure.  A list of Hejaz railway locos is on this page

the Prince of Wales in Greymouth NZ, 1920

Later King Edward VIII who reigned for most of 1936 before he chose to abdicate so he could marry an American divorcée.

Presumably those are flags and not someone's washing line...  What is the car?
