The concise listing of locomotives and units details of numbers, names, owner/operators, shed allocations and any specific differences between class members. Multiple unit train formations are listed, allowing unit numbers to be identified from individual car numbers. The small number of locomotive hauled passenger coaches and the fleet of HST coaches are listed with number, allocation and any previous number for vehicles modified/rebuilt/renumbered, plus detail variations from similar vehicles.
To maintain a true pocket size book technical information which is duplicated or readily available elsewhere (eg. Wikipedia) is left out, just key data for locomotive and multiple unit train classes is provided.
