seems I paid $125 for "Waycars of the CB&Q" and like $135 for "Steam Locomotives of the Great Northern Ry". Worth every penny in both cases. Beat going to the gambling boat and blowing it !!

Wow. eek I paid the princely sum of $9.95 for "Waycars" when it first came out. nod Got my "Steam Locomotives of the Burlington Route" as a Christmas present from my parents a loooooooooong time ago. I remember paying $50.00 for the reprint of "Iron Horses of the Santa Fe Trail" when it came out. Coulda bought an AHM HO Big Boy instead... Glad I didn't.

It seems we've entered the age where many poo-poo books because of their cost and the hallowed internet. Well, The books I own have enhanced the model railroading hobby for me and the internet doesn't know everything.
