Overview

A full colour 120 page hardback illustrated album by renowned photographer James Waite of the narrow gauge activity in the former Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia) in the 21st Century. Yugoslavia was a popular destination for enthusiasts of narrow gauge railways in the Communist era, having an unusually lengthy network (a legacy of the Austro-Hungarian empire), and Bosnia-Hercegovina remains one of the last bastions of everyday steam working in the railway world. In this book, the author not only visits the Bosnian operations, but also illustrates how the network and the trains that operated on it, have been adapted to serve the fledgling tourist industry. 120 illustrations

Author Information

James Waite was brought up in Devon within sight and sound of one of the GWR's prettiest branch lines and can't remember a time when he wasn't an ardent enthusiast. He was introduced to the narrow gauge at school which, conveniently, was within sight of the old Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. Its route was then largely intact even though the track had been lifted twenty-five years earlier. A family holiday in North Wales saw the start of an affection for the little trains which has continued ever since. Many years later, retirement from full-time work has enabled him to discover for himself the many fascinating railways still running in far-away places. He is a regular contributor to 'Narrow Gauge World', the UK's leading magazine in its field.
