Dampf in den Swinging Sixties - Als Europa noch dampfte

In the 1960s, steam was still running on almost all of Europe's railway lines, both on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Numerous steam locomotive enthusiasts, particularly from the British Isles, traveled the continent and captured the end of the era in unique color photographs.

Mit Volldampf um die Welt - Dampflokpirsch mit Fernweh

Sometimes fast, sometimes leisurely - this is how people travelled in many countries around the world by steam locomotive in recent decades.
The fascination with the old steam engines led the Dutchman Edward H. Broekhuizen around the globe during this time, with destinations in Africa, Asia, North and South America, the Middle East and Europe.

On these trips, he took impressive photos of the last steam locomotives on almost every continent. He selected the most beautiful shots for this illustrated book, which commemorates the last great heyday of the steam locomotive - a must for all steam locomotive enthusiasts.

Stromlinien-Dampfloks - Die internationale Enzyklopädie

In the 1930s, progress had a name: streamline. Streamlined shapes stood for speed, power and elegance. Streamline soon became a synonym for speed around the world.
Whether it was a steam locomotive, airplane, car or bus - they all had a streamlined outer skin and shaped the image of an entire era.

This work is just as unique as the streamlined engine: in around 30 years of work, Anton von Hornstein has created an encyclopedia of all streamlined steam locomotives ever built worldwide. He traces the development from the beginnings before the First World War to its end in the 1950s.
