Necessarily the vast majority of the pictures on this CD were taken many years ago, many under less than ideal conditions. Often they represent a unique record of an era which has passed and your understanding of this is essential to your enjoyment.
This CD ROM was dedicated to the hundreds of Indonesians who for twenty years have made me welcome everywhere I have been. Of all the countries I have visited in search of steam none can match their hospitality.

Living among the gods - the author at the top of Gunung Slamet in September 1998. 

I would like to thank all those other photographers whose work was featured on the original CD.
Those who, I believe, are still mercifully with us: 
Keith Chester (KC), Tony Eaton (TE), Tony Ford (TF), Derek Huntriss (DH), Blake Paterson (BP), Ian Searle (IS), Andrew Smith (AS), James Waite (JW), Robert Wilson (RW).
Those who, I believe, have gone to the great locoshed in the sky:
Hugh Ballantyne (HB), Jim Comber (JC), Gerald Dixon (GD), Michael Egan (ME), Rod Farr (RF), Chris Halliwell (CH), Peter Hodge (PH), Lawrie Marshall (LM), Peter Michie (PM), Basil Roberts (BR), John Tillman (JT), Nick Tindall (NT), Geoff Todd (GT), Chris Wilkinson (CW):
Graham Warburton and Geoff Monks (Alcazar Video) supplied video clips for the original CD-ROM but these are not included here.
I believe the two pictures of the BB10 on the Labuan branch train are the work of the late Bruce Chennel. I am grateful to E. Wilmshurst for allowing us to use his Java map as the basis for the maps on this CD-ROM. 
Dusty Durrant's classic book "Power Parade" inspired me to first visit Java and gave permission to use his loco lists and allocations for the original CD-ROM but these are not included here. David Ibbotson of Dorridge Travel Service made it possible for me with his pioneering tour in 1975 and Hugh Ballantyne arranged for me to lead tours there in 1983/4. All three are now gone.
