This is the other railway in Sabah, East Malaysia. This is the only other railway operator in Malaysia which operates diesel

using very old locomotives (YEAH!!!). My dream is to visit this railway one day.

CD-ROM
Tiger Steam CD-ROM
Normally i wouldn't care much for people trying to sell their photos. I personally feel sharing will bring this hobby further.
Anyway, Old photos of steam
locomotives of South East Asia. I was told that it has about 100+ pics of Malayan Railway alone.
The whole CD contains about 1200 pics. I doubt will ever purchase this cd because it's too pricey.
