Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Derek Cross was a British geologist and keen steam railway enthusiast who visited New Zealand in the 1950s. Many of his black and white photos from his travels around New Zealand have been published in books and magazines but only a small number of his colour slides have been seen before. This book contains 380 out of the approx 900 slides he took, nearly all of them hitherto unseen. In all it is a feast for steam enthusiasts and anyone nostalgic about life in the 1950s in New Zealand.
