After receiving his book 1950-1960 Historic Railway Scenes. I would recommend that you get a copy.
best colour photos of Thailand Trains and trams I have seen.
The photos of some of his collection on this site gives the interest to see the book the Overseas Volume is in English and Japanese. My hat goes of to Wally putting such a collection together of Asian and American Railways.

Do not make me jealous overseas.:p
Any one an idea how to order this book in Holland without to many extra costs, or is it available in Bangkok? In that case I can wait, October is planned for a long stay. (I can let reserve a copy in advance)

I just saw one copy at Tokyodo-Fortune Town (on the 2nd floor).

You walk right from the entrance of MRTA's Rama 9 Station, see a small Chester's coffee shop in front of escalator .... and go up.

It is roughly 3,000 YEN.

I saw it 2-3 weeks ago. I hope it is still available.:D

By the sake of Boeddha, for less I can print my own material, these ar stiff European prices, something between 60 and 70 euro.
Thanks for the warning, I informed the same bookshop in Chiang Mai already if they were able to order a copy, I'll wait a while. :p
