This page contains a select list of books and other publications from my library. Some materials are out of print but may be available through your local library or online second hand book dealers.
A larger list also includes sugar mill histories and other items of primary interest to cane railway modellers, and local history materials with some railway content. Neither list has much on Queensland's secondary operators such as Pacific National due to the scarcity of published materials [in my library at least]on these operations.
Most of the print materials are A4 soft cover and contain photographs, and/or drawings and/or maps.
The selections are solely the responsibility of Lynn Zelmer, inclusion or omission does not imply endorsement by the Convention Committee.
