[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Woowy22</i> <br /><br />I am a rank beginner. Would like to find a book with diagrams and easy to understand descriptions of major types of steam locomotives 1830 to 1900. Have exhausted the local library. What do you suggest? <br />[/quote] <br />I am a member of the CNWHS and we have a book called The CNW Steam Locomotive Diagram Book, by Joe Pierson,the book covers alot of steam locomotives,in diagrams from 1907-the last days of steam.The book is a good reference for steam buffs,at a cost of $35.00, or I can make copies of what you are looking for and send them to you,if you like. But if you basically just want to see a book and make a couple of photo copies from it (like I have done with many), I would like to suggest trying an "Inter-library Loan" search at your library. You'd be surprised as to what you may get. I wanted a book on the Rock Island freight cars,and one was found and sent to my library .The book came from the University of St.Louis of all places!Good luck in your search.[:)] <br />Andrew
