Locomotive e automotrici - Belgio: libri illustrati - panoramiche

Benelux Railways

The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg each have their own railway systems, which are closely connected across the region. All three countries provide regular passenger services, usually every hour or more often, both domestically and across borders.

In the Netherlands, Nederlandse Spoorwegen operates most services, supported by companies such as Arriva and Syntus on several local routes.

In Belgium, all passenger services are run by NMBS/SNCB, serving both the Flemish and Walloon regions. Luxembourg's CFL operates an extensive network with frequent national services and numerous international connections, including links with Germany and France.

John Law has visited the railways of this region since the early 1970s and has travelled on almost all lines open to passenger traffic. Over the decades, he has photographed the many changes and has built an extensive collection. This book presents a selection of his most notable images.

The first volume of two works of historical, technical and photographic retrospective of the great era of multi-current locomotives on the Paris-Belgium line.

This study is completed by photographic themes showing the different SNCF and SNCB series in France.

La Locomotive (réédition de l'édition originale de 1920)

The Boiler, the Engine, the Vehicle and finally the Tender make up the four parts of this book. Ulysse Lamalle and Fernand Legein know what they are talking about: the first was a Civil Engineer of Mines, the second, a Civil Engineer mechanic and both spent their lives in trains, studying them to improve them constantly. Although technical, this book is accessible to all.

More than 320 engravings, diagrams and plans illustrate this text and improve its understanding. Here, all the technical parts and the various elements of the locomotive first, then of the tender are dissected and analyzed. The reversal of the direction of travel is described at length, supported by engravings, as are the brakes, essential organs which have largely contributed to making the railway one of the safest means of transport in the modern world.

This book is also illustrated with many magnificent black and white photographs of locomotives and drivers in action that the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Belges and enthusiasts have kindly made available to us for this reissue and which will allow the "Old-timers" to rediscover the very special atmosphere of this universe.

A very beautiful book on the steam locomotive that is becoming more and more distant...
A genuine reissue. This book is not a facsimile.

Rundnasen und Kartoffelkäfer - Die NoHAB-Europalokomotiven

The diesel locomotives known as "Rundnase, " "Dicknase, " or "Kartoffelkäfer" have achieved cult status. Starting in 1954, 159 locomotives of this type were built under an EMD license at NoHAB in Trollhättan (Sweden) for Norway, Denmark, and Hungary. Additionally, AFB produced 40 locomotives for Belgium and four for Luxembourg. The design is based on the American F-series and B-class but was adapted to European requirements.

The last regular operations ended in 2000/2001 in Hungary, Norway, and Denmark. In Belgium, they were retired a few years earlier, in Luxembourg in 1994. However, many of these robust locomotives are still in service with private railways, mainly in Denmark, Sweden, and Germany.

The first part of the illustrated book looks back at the final years of operation with state railways. The second part focuses on the locomotives still active today, with an emphasis on Germany.

Contents of the book:
- Foreword
- Introduction

- Between the fjord and the Arctic Circle
