Description
Introducing the sequel to the Australian design cult-classic publication, Get the Met, ‘How we Met’ Second Edition. Following on from the continued success of the First Edition released in 2020, we gladly present to you a 300 page hardcover publication with four times the amount of content from the first edition. The chapters in the book include Early Periods of Melbourne Rail History, Brochures and Printed Material, train ticketing, the train models, railway branding and additional chapters such as staff uniforms and signage.
The book contains 100’s of exclusive images, some never seen by the public, now readily available for your viewing and book collection needs. Beginning the book off with classic black and white photographs of Flinders Street pre-electrification, textured film photos from ex-workshop staff member and private collector, Simon McArdle, a mix of film and crisp digital photos from a private collection of Chris McGregor and additional photographers noted from the previous edition.
The Second Edition aims to shed more light on the early periods of Melbourne rail, organisational and operational information about ‘The Met’ and revised details about the train model design descriptions. The author, Jourdan Sungkar, has spent 5 years since the first edition, researching Melbourne rail through hundreds of rail issued publications and reading material that has resulted in the culmination of this newly minted Second Edition, in what may be a life-long series of Melbourne rail history.
