Drawings, stats, and comments on trains, in a tiny book.

This book presents a maximum amount of information in a minimal space. Selected locomotives from around the world are included, illustrating the full spectrum of steam locomotive development. The book is chronologically organized, with an index. Each of nearly 100 locomotives has a color drawing, statistics, and commentary included. Yet, the book fits in the average pocket! An excellent reference for the steam locomotive buff.
