STEAMSCENES DAYLIGHT REFLECTIONS VOL 1: FROM DAYLIGHT TO STARLIGHT
By Nils Huxtable
In the 50 years following the introduction of the lightweight streamliner, steam disappeared and, one after another, Southern Pacific's famous trains were discontinued. Now even Southern Pacific itself has ceased to exist. Originally scheduled to appear in 1999, the revised edition of Daylight Reflections has now been expanded to three volumes, each consisting of 152 pages complete with its own dust jacket.
Volume 1 of Daylight Reflections, subtitled From Daylight to Starlight, will cover the period from 1923 to 1949 - the 'Glory Years', when passenger trains were a part of Southern Pacific philosophy. Since colour photography was still in its infancy, this volume contains a number of black & white illustrations that give it a more historic tone. Volume 1 was finally completed in  late autumn 2002 & is now available. 500 copies will be signed & numbered by the author.

Volume 2, subtitled Daylights at High Noon, encompasses a relatively short time span - from 1950 to 1955. This was a fascinating period of transition & upheaval, as passengers moved away from rail to planes, automobiles & buses. Volume 2, which concludes with the dieselization of the Coast Line, reflects both the shift in travel patterns & photographic approach, as more & more photographers moved into colour images.

Volume 3 has been subtitled Daylights in Twilight. Covering the years 1956 to 1971, it takes the reader on a sad journey, from the last steam-powered San Joaquin Daylight & Bay Area commuter services through to 1971 when Amtrak assumed responsibility for SP's few remaining passenger services.

STEAMSCENES SEASONS OF STEAM
By Steamscenes
Steam in Britain has enjoyed a renaissance unequalled anywhere in the world - thanks to the Railway Preservation Movement & the dedication, enthusiasm and hard work of volunteers & professional railwaymen.
Incorporating a small number of classic images from the popular 'Seasons of Steam' calendar series alongside many previously unpublished photographs, this 104-page pictorial tribute invites you to celebrate more than 40 years of British preserved steam.
The contributors to Seasons of Steam have tried to convey the thrill of photographing steam today. Is it possible that pictures of preserved steam could equal those taken during the 'Glorious Years'? Only you can be the judge!
Seasons of Steam
concentrates on steam in the landscape. Each page invites you to turn back the clock, not to lament the loss of a favourite engine or railway line, but to celebrate Britain's steam heritage, to marvel at what has been saved. In many instances, double-page spreads depict the same engine, or class, in a contrasting season or setting. Elsewhere representatives from the same region complement each other. The authors make no apologies for their bias towards British Railways livery - good, bad or indifferent, it was the livery that we knew!

STEAMSCENES STEAM BENEATH THE RED STAR
By Ron Ziel and Nils Huxtable
Spying on steam! Following WWII, railway operations in certain countries were considered strategically vital and the taking of photographs could result in the loss of both films and freedom. By 1970, however, limited access was gained by a number of photographers who succeeded in recording the last steam locomotives. Steam Beneath the Red Star is an album of 456 photographs depicting a variety of steam in Eastern Europe, North Korea, Vietnam, China, Cuba and the former Soviet Union.
256 pages - Size 280mm x 210mm - Hard Cover - 368 black and white plus 88 colour photos
