Rail Scene Volume 13 – The Candy Livery of the State Rail Authority of New South Wales

Rail Scene Volume 13 is a photographic profile dedicated to the iconic Candy livery of the State Rail Authority of New South Wales (SRA NSW). Compiled by renowned railway photographers Peter Attenborough and Ray Love, with the initial photograph for this volume selected by Billy Lewis, this book documents one of the most recognisable liveries in Australian railway history.

Introduced as part of a unified corporate branding program, the SRA Candy livery was deliberately engineered so its distinctive red, white, and orange stripes could be applied at a consistent height above rail level, regardless of locomotive class or rolling stock type. This clever design allowed the livery to be carried across a wide variety of NSW diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, passenger stock, and freight rolling stock, ensuring a cohesive and instantly recognisable appearance across the NSW rail network.

Featuring 96 pages of full-colour photography, Rail Scene Volume 13 captures the Candy livery in everyday service across New South Wales during a key transitional era of Australian rail operations. The book provides valuable visual reference material for rail enthusiasts, historians, modellers, and collectors, particularly those with an interest in NSW railways, SRA branding, and Australian railway liveries.

An essential addition to any Australian railway book collection or NSW railfan library.
