Source of prototype information

For me, it's indisputably books, which I have amassed more of over the past 45+ years than I could ever hope to use in my modeling efforts. I primarily follow prototype data focused toward exact scale steam locomotives that I either have scratchbuilt, or plan to scratchbuild again now that I am retired and am able to devote full time to this. <br /> <br />I loosely follow prototype rolling stock and motive power for my mythical pike and fallen flag interchange roads simply because I have grown to realize that the pike is a caricature of a protoype prone to accidents and handling by giants. Museum quality prototype models are best left only for display. <br /> <br />For track planning, John Armstrong's books are the best., bar none. <br /> <br />The bottom line, it's books for me. <br />/h <br /> <br />
