Buku Damar yang paling dia sukai. Apalagi kalau bukan karena tentang KERETA. Di dalam buku ini diterangkan prinsip kerja kereta uap dan kereta TGV. Sayang bagian TGV cuma sedikit. Selain itu juga sekilas diulas sejarah kereta api dan jenis-jenis kereta api. Lumayan juga, dari sini jadi tau tentang kereta Mallard dan Maglev selain Shinkansen dan TGV.
