A history of the metre-gauge rack railway from Mettupalaiyam to Ootacamund (Ooty), which is still partially operated
by Swiss built 0-8-2 rack tanks.  The book covers the history of the line, the rolling stock, and covers some of the
background politics that have resulted in the service on offer today. 
By Govind  Krishnan, who has a deep understanding of the railway and its surroundings.

Those of you who have Narrow Gauge Story Volume 1 will know how good this program is.  However, NGS2 has a big advantage – there’s a 16minute session on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, covering New Jalpaiguri to Kurseong (including some really good shots of steam through the Siliguri bazaar). This was filmed on the 2009 tour to the line organised for the Royal Photographic Society and covers much of the record-breaking run from Siliguri to Darjeeling in a day at a cracking pace. The remainder of the two hour long dvd covers a wide variety of narrow gauge systems from around the world, including the new Welsh Highland , New Zealand’s Kingston Flyer, the Ravenglass, Mallorca and Austria. 

All the DHR footage was filmed by Graham Whistler, who is one of the committee of the Digital Imaging Group of the Royal Photographic Society – and he knows very precisely what he’s doing with a video camera.  Recommended!
