[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding I have a fair amount of railroad and locomotive books . I'd be happy to go and look for some info. Is there any specific type,or country you had in mind? You're right-if you get just a little bit off the norm, information gets sparse. A lot of times, a railroad book will have a picture,page or even a chapter about something out of the ordinary. Where are you in Minnesota? [/quote] I am in the St. Cloud area, middle of the state. What I am trying to find, new or used, is some books that cover the diesel locomotives used between 1950-1970. It is the fifties locos that probably were written about once but not for quite some time. There is a Encyclopedia of Railroad Locomotive, or something like that, that the library has here, and I was too stupid to pickup at a antique store fifteen years ago, that gives a good rundown of the era of the end of steam and the beginning of Diesel, but I have never seen one for sale again. Books such as that, would be my preference, as to buy singular local books will add up to, I have already done some checking, to hundreds of dollars, so a general, but era specific book, i guess is what I want. It is hard to describe as there are books out now, some I have, but they all cover the well know locomotives steam and diesel from that era, and really ignore many of the import-export locomotives that were specific to a region or country. Where do you get most of your books from, store, internet, or do you know of a good antique shop, sometimes they can have amazing things there, that you go to? Have you found any euro books similar to the early locomotive spotter guides? I am amazed that such a book does not exist, if it does not. I am starting to ramble, so I will cut it off. Where are you in Dakota, Sioux Falls area? Bob
