An invaluable reference for model railroad hobbyists of all skill and experience levels December 13, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Model Railroader's Guide to Diesel Locomotives is an invaluable reference for model railroad hobbyists of all skill and experience levels. Absolutely no historically-accurate detail is spared in this minutely specific guide to history and development of diesel locomotives, from the boxcab switchers of the 1920s to the passenger and freight locomotives of the 30's and 40's to modern-day AC-traction-motor road locomotives. Charts of construction and service dates for each locomotive type will aid the hobbyist in selecting a historically appropriate model for each setting. It should be noted that The Model Railroader's Guide to Diesel Locomotives is a guide to the history, function, and appearance of diesel locomotives - it is not a step-by-step how-to guide for building them. Indeed, the wealth of researched information ultimately warrants its classification as a book about railroading history rather than a hobbyist book, even though the primary intended audience is model railroad hobbyists. An unparalleled resource on its chosen topic, highly recommended for anyone interested in pursuing detailed research on diesel locomotives.
