The books you need are:
Diesel Locomotives: The First 50 Years
, covering the first and second generation diesels, and
Field Guide to Modern Diesel Locomotives
, which looks at engines from the 1970s onwards.
Look here: http://store.yahoo.com/kalmbachcatalog/railroading-books-railroad-reference-series.html
You might also want to check out
Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Volume 2: Diesel Locomotives
.

I have Gerald Foster's 'A Field Guide to Trains'. ISBN 0-395-70112-0 I won't say it's the most comprehensive, but it does have many great drawings of diesels. Mr. Foster is an artist and architect, as well as a railfan.
The book points out differences in the various models, such as an EMD SD40 and SD40-2, as well as a basic specifications feature for most of the models.

I can recommend the Kalmbach books "F units, the diesels that did it", "E Units, Electr-motive's classic streamliners" and also their book on Geeps, can't remember the title. All three of these have plenty of useful information including scale drawings.

I am looking for a sight or any type of book that would show all the different models of diesel engines.
