Hutchins, Graham: Stop The Train! I Want To Get On: Rediscovering New Zealand Railway Journeys: ReadHowYouWant . Large type / large print edition 2015 – 396 p. , ISBN 978-1-4596-8661-8
Graham Hutchins fell in love with trains at an early age. Living in the railway town of Te Kuiti, he often gazed on the steaming monsters as they thundered through the King Country. Before long train travel became more than a pastime, more than a fascination: he was hooked. In his new book he recounts a journey he undertook alone on the night train to Auckland at the tender age of 10. From then on he travelled as much as he could, and later as a young man searched out the smaller forgotten lines to experience what they had to offer. „Stop the Train! I Want To Get On“ describes journeys throughout both islands of New Zealand, on regular passenger trains, railcars, freight trains and work trains. The routes covered include the Central Otago line, the Gisborne Railcar, the Southerner to Invercargill, a mixed train through rural Taranaki, a worker’s train from Greymouth on the Rewanui Incline, the Endeavour to Hawke’s Bay and the Silver Fern Railcar. Many services have now been axed, but Graham Hutchins vividly recalls their delights, from the scenery outside to the often primitive conditions inside, along with memories of the people he met along the way. Sometimes alone, on other occasions with his mate Russell or his wife Jenny, he conveys the unique experience and sheer pleasure of rail travel in every corner of New Zealand, from the 1950s to the present day.

„This book – the second of three parts – covers the period 1900-1930. It continues the high standard set in Part 1 (reviewed in CRJ 73), albeit with a different author, E. J. McClare, but he too is a lifelong NZ railwayman and founder member of the NZRLS. The end of the depression in the mid-1890s led to unprecedented traffic levels, with which the NZGR were ill-equipped to deal. The early part of the book describes the measures taken to cope with this situation, from up-grading old tank engines to the introduction of larger locomotives built mainly in the UK and the USA. Among the latter were the· world ’s first Pacifies, the Baldwin-built Q class of 1901. Subsequent chapters deal with technological improvements (such as superheating and compounding) and the introduction of still larger locomotives. The takeover by NZGR of the Wellington & Manawatu Railway in 1908 is covered, and the final chapter gives a tantalizingly brief resume of the industrial locomotives used in NZ, with particular emphasis on articulated types using the Climax, Heisler, Mallet and Meyer systems in addition to the ‚native exotica‘ from the firms Davidson, Johnston and Price. The well-reproduced photographs are supplemented by delightful line drawings by Cedric Green and Peter Dyer. Appendices include a summary of classes (with builders, but not Works Nos. ) and tables of dimensions. Part 3 (1930-71) will be published later.“ (CRJ 79, Autumn 1989, p. 179-180.

Between 1863 and 1971 the steam locomotive was the best known part of railways, and these steel kings of the steel road touched everyone’s lives. Stories abound regarding the steam locomotive and what made them special. This is a history of the steam locomotives owned by New Zealand’s national railway system. Numbering more than a thousand, they were enormously varied – ranging from little over five tons to almost 148 tons in weight, and from the occasional failure to trend-setting designs of international significance. This book combines the best available research with the largest collection of photographs on the subject ever assembled. Each locomotive is described by class with brief specifications, and information about the work each performed in New Zealand locomotive history.

Auch wenn der Fernverkehr auf Schienen in Australien und Neuseeland eine sehr geringe Rolle spielt, verfügen alle großen Städte dieser beiden Länder doch über effiziente und moderne S-Bahnen, welche die oft weitläufigen Ballungsräume gut erschließen. Straßenbahnen findet man heute hingegen nur noch in wenigen Städten, wobei allerdings das Tramnetz in Melbourne zu den größten und dichtesten weltweit zählt. Der Autor beschreibt in gewohnter Weise alle Schienenverkehrsmittel in und um Sydney (inklusive Monorail), Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Auckland, Wellington – und stellt in Kurzkapiteln die Museumsstraßenbahnen in Bendigo und Christchurch sowie die zahlreichen Straßenbahnmuseen vor. Das Buch ist wie immer illustriert mit zahlreichen Farbfotos und detallierten Netzplänen.

„The original limited edition of this publication was produced prior to the LCGB’s tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1988. That tour provided much additional information, and this second revised edition is the result. It lists, by alphabetical order of location within States (North and South Islands for New Zealand), all known preserved locomotives, railcars and tramcars. For each item there is quoted – so far as information is available – its gauge, last owner, number, name if applicable, wheel arrangement, builder, works number and year of construction. The vast number of motive power units preserved and the wide variety of their locations – particularly the static examples – will come as an eye-opener to anyone not familiar with the Australian scene. The LCGB is to be congratulated on producing another much-needed publication.“ (CRJ 80, Winter 1989/90, p. 227-228).
