Customer Reviews

Great Book

I gave this as a gift and it was a great hit. He had been looking for this book for years. This book gives you all sorts of details about desiel engines that aren't found elsewhere. It is a great companion the the Steam Locomotive Cyclopedia for train buffs.

Dated, But Still Useful

This is truly a classic in the field of motive power books. Readers will find crisply printed diagrams, technical information and well reproduced pictures on large-sized pages. This is not a volume to put on your workbench as it is large. Since the content is somewhat dated; i.e. you won't find many 2nd generation units in there, I wish Kalmbach would develop and print an updated edition; I know I'd buy it. Highly recommended.

Must have for diesel

I like this almost as much as the steam version. For roster info, I use Marre's Contemporary Diesel Spotters Guide 2nd Edition

Currently the best planbook available

If you want to build diesels from scratch, this is the best planbook you will find. There are photos, write-up and other data also! The only things it lacks, are more roster info and detail drawings of fans, lights etc, which would be helpful in model building.
