from the library: 'Objets du train à collectioner'

This French book on railway collectibles from 2000 was the inspiration for our book New Zealand Railway Memorabilia.  It had 128 color pages full of pictures of items such as clocks, signs, carriage fittings, plaques, uniforms, paraphernalia like telephones, ticket machines, lamps, signals, models, and of course publicity materials like posters, pamphlets and postcards.

With a country the size of France the range of potential contents is much bigger than with NZ, but we still had no difficulty filling the 80 A4 pages in our book.
