[KS] North Korean transports of delight

[Afostercarter at aol.com]

Dear friends and colleagues,
 
Anyone who gets excited by obscure  automobiles is in for a treat at

(http://picasaweb.google.nl/birgit1401/DprkAutomobiles?feat=directlink) #
 
72 pictures, each with a detailed caption, covering half a  century of
vehicle production - cars, buses, trucks - in North  Korea.
 
For serious aficionados, a book with over 500 such pictures  may be
purchased from _http://www.chinesecars.net/index.php?page=4_

Happy motoring!
 
Those similarly enthused by steam trains will enjoy

(Did that trip take place, and was it indeed the  last?
I've found other DPRK steam train pages in the  past.
There used to be regular tours from the UK to see  these.)
 
Finally, there is much to enjoy and learn in this lengthy tale  of
a very long train ride by a  clear-eyed and well-travelled 
young Austrian:  _http://vienna-pyongyang.blogspot.com/_

Bon voyage!
