Chinese Railway Reference websites
A website hosted by Michael Reilly with the most recent news and reports from visitors to China chasing the country's last steam locomotives.
An excellent website by Duncan Cotterill. Although the site includes content from other country's, the Chinese sections are very well done. Of special note are the locomotive class profiles and steam locomotive number lists.
Site filled with content by various contributors. Membership is required from a current member (I am unable to assist with this at the current time).
http://bbs.ourail.com/forum.php - Chinese language only
A website with a huge amount of information of steam, diesel & electric locomotives as well as passenger and freight vehicles.
Photo gallery website by Brian Hawkins with a staggering amount of photographs of Chinese steam covering many years and train types.
My new site dedicated to my travels to China. Only contains some of my photography, trip reports will follow soon.
Modelling resources
YouTube Channel - chinesemodeltrains.com
The YouTube channel for this page which will grow over time with new content. If you have a question to ask about a Chinese model, I will try and cover it with a short video here.
YouTube Channel - Boulder Creek Railroad
Luke Towan's YouTube channel is the best I have found to date on building models and dioramas. Much of his content is modelled off Australian Railways, however the techinques he shows are invaluable.
