Tracking Back 3 by Australian author Ed Tonks is a lavishly illustrated first-edition hardcover that charts the evolution of Newcastle’s railway network. Written for adult learners and transport enthusiasts alike, the volume blends engineering detail with lively biography to show how steam, diesel and rolling stock shaped regional Australia.

This 2021 debut from the small-run Newey Printing Company arrives in solid, gently-read condition: clean pages, tight binding, only a light spine-top dent hinting at shelf life. A previous owner’s name graces the front inner paper, and Tonks has personally inscribed the book, adding extra provenance for collectors of Australian transport history.

Whether you’re after a trustworthy reference for model-railway projects, a curriculum resource for adult education, or a gift for a train buff, this scarce first printing fits the bill. Its durable hardcover format and generous visuals make browsing the locomotives, timetables and heritage shots a pleasure.
