Here is a cut and paste of what I asked Murph: <br /> <br />What I am trying to find, new or used, is some books that cover the diesel locomotives used between 1950-1970. <br />It is the fifties locos that probably were written about once but not for quite some time. <br />There is a Encyclopedia of Railroad Locomotive 1960 edition, 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. <br />Books such as that, would be my preference, as to buy singular locals books will add up to, I have already done some checking, to hundreds of dollars, so a general, but era specific book, is what I prefer. <br /> <br />It is hard to describe as there are books out now, some I have, but they all cover the well known locomotives both steam and diesel ,from that era, and really ignore many of the import-export locomotives that were specific to a region or country, or anglo builders. <br /> <br />I have found, out-of-print, books, usually on steam, at antique shop and some neighborhood hobby shop, but the best usually seem to go out of business. <br />Where do some of you gents, find the hard get, or locate books, especially at not-scalping prices. <br /> <br />Has anyone ever done a all EE, Vickers Armstrong, or all Alsthom locomotive book, such a work would have all the early info available, I would imagine. <br />Bob <br />
