I've been using my Field Guide to Modern Diesel Locomotives by Greg McDonnell, Kalmbach Publishing 2002, quite a bit this year. It's well worn and some pages are falling out. I went to the online Trains Products web site for books to check on a replacement, and it is not listed at this time that I can see. Does anyone know if the second edition is due out anytime soon? I hope so.
Growing up, I spent many hours studying The Diesel Spotter's Guide. When I go trackside these days for rail photography, I usually study my Field Guide between trains. I always take it with me. I also use it a lot when I write captions for my photos, so an updated edition would be great for me.
I am looking forward to the Locomotive issue next month.
"Diesel Era" published "The Contemporary Diesel Spotters Guide" in 2000.It covered from1972.There may be a later edition[or not]
Produced by Withers Publshing,compiled by Louis Marre andPaul Withers,edited by Don Cupper.

The 2d Ed. will likely come out right after they finally publish the Short Line Guide 5th Ed...
