Mike is something of an enthusiast himself these days. The photos here are taken by him.

Departing Lixin (Huanan Coal Railway)
Mike comes highly recommended by John Agnew, Rob Dickinson, Nicholas Pertwee, John Raby and Ted Talbot. We have all used his services in the past.

Contact Mike (mike68ma@yahoo.com) when planning your next China bash. With steam spread thinly in China and not provided on a plate any more, using an affordable and experienced guide has never made more sense.

ps: Nicholas comments that Mike is also something of an industrial electric loco expert these days, too.
