Greetings! Welcome to the Line

Hi everybody: welcome to the Rail blog of Klink from Australia.

In this blog, I'll talk about everyting rail-related: most specifically on British and Australian sources. You'll read treatises on locmotives, designers, comparisons of the 'big-four', pre- and post-nationalisation railways, the Beeching Axe, modern british lines, Australian steam and diesel devleopment, state-to-state rail rivalry (for you british, each state had its own gauge up tll about twenty years ago: broad, standard or even narrow for queensland...), stories from Australian lines..

Railfans, feel free to add your opinions/ ideas and add-ons to my thoughts.
