Customer Reviews

Excellent little Hardcover.

Book covers Locomotives from around the world,specs,history,etc. Nice addition to any railfan's library.

XLNT RR Locomotive Book w/ Photos, specs, and History

This excellent book is great for Railroad hobbiests, RR History, and for MS Train Simulator (and other train simulators) users.This book includes every major class of train from the 1600's till present. It includes photos, specifications (date, builder, client, gauge, class, driving wheels, capacity, weight, max speeds, etc), and history. You can most likely find this book (even hard cover) for $10 on line and in Major Book Stores. This book is too good NOT to add to your RailRoad Library.If you have NO books on locomotives and can buy only one, this is a good choice.

Excellent RailRoad (trains) book

This book includes photos (or drawings if pre-1800s) of every major train (all countries) from the 1600s to present. It includes specifications, history, charts, and more. If you can buy only one book on Locomotives (trains specifically) this is a good choice. This book is specifically on trains, not rail (routes).
