Smoke gets in your Lens. G Haslbeck, D Wardale SMOKE GETS IN YOUR LENS - Endlose Dampfreise
Author: Haslbeck, G & Wardale, D w/contributions Smith, A William; Wardale,Irene M; Reif, Karl
Publisher: Regensburg, Haslbeck , 1978
ISBN: 0 620 03192 1

 This book is not totally SAR. It has many steam locomotives from around the world printed in it but about 50% of it is SAR. It is full colour and has photos from GF garratts working in Natal right through to banking duties on Lootsberg and 25NCs on Kimberley - De Aar.

It is a pictorial book and none of the shots have any explanation of what they are simply being named "Steam into the Clouds" as one example. [RN]
