DavidB-AU Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 The site appears to be down.

EddieB Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 For anyone interested in Vietnamese railways, I'd recommend a visit to this website: http://www.railwaysinvietnam.com/index.html. The International Steam website has some uncomplimentary things to say about local attitudes to steam tourists: http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/asiaeast.htm#Vietnam. The restored loco is one of a batch of 67 built at Tangshan (China, completed before the devastating earthquake). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
