Source of prototype information

[Anonymous]

I was tempted to respond "All of the Above" until I read Erik's statement , "I know they're all important, but which one can you not live without?" In other words, if you could have only ONE SOURCE, which would it be.? So in that light I selected the historical society option, as an affiliation with one of these groups can give you access to all the rest PLUS.

I use anything and everything when I am doing research. I have a large assortment of 35mm slides of the things that I am modeling. I also use other resources such as magazines, books, historical railroad groups, and of course the Internet.

[:)] I actually use 3 different sources. The Internet is the primary source (thank goodness for it). My second source is an aquaintence who is an Engineer (train driver, not an office type) for Canadian Pacific. Third (and the most fun) go out and LOOK at stuff! Follow some tracks and see where they go! Sit and watch a crew shunting cars at a siding!
Have fun!

Whether you’re designing your track plan or super-detailing a locomotive or freight car, prototype information is invaluable.

What’s your primary source of prototype information? I know they're all important, but which one can you not live without?
