None of the material in this book has been published previously, and this work from a known authority on the subject significantly expands the information available on narrow gauge steam behind the former 'Iron Curtain'.
Detailed profiles include the Hungarian MÁV class 490 0-8-0T, Kolomna 0-8-0s in Estonia, the Polish class Px48 0-8-0, and the Russian and Chinese Pt-4 0-8-0s.
Other chapters cover Die Kleinbahn Des Kreises Jerichow 1, the Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railway, forestry railways in the former Jugoslavia, the Slovakian Hronec forestry line, and Romanian State Railways (CFR) narrow gauge lines and locomotives.
