Jennifer, <br />If you are planning anything newer than a transition era layout, the Enginge Servicing Terminal book is useless. Just a few pages of diesel/modern era and very little photography. What I have found with the Kalmbach books I have so far is they cater to steam and old stuff. Also, I buy the books to give me photos to help me design my RR, but they don't help ME much at all. I have found much better info doing searches online. If you go to the Amazon site, you can browse through a few pages of each book you are interested in first. It usually shows the index, contents page, and 4 or 5 pages of text. I have noticed on these forums that a lot of the members have bottomless pockets when it comes to Model Railroading funds and price is NEVER an object. I saw someone mention that it "won't break the bank" buying the book, but $20 wasted on useless material is $20 that could be spent elsewhere for the rest of us that don't have unlimited funds. If you need the info to help you build your RR, check it out thoroughly first before you get 5 cases of buyers remorse like I did with the 5 Kalmbach books I have purchased, which total near $125. That would have bought me a Digitrax Zephyr on E-bay, far more valuable then these books. <br />Just my $.02 (or $125.00) worth.
