I stumbled onto this the other day and I had no idea someone had reprinted it. If you want to learn something about steam locomotives, do yourself one big favor! Go to Amazon and search for "The Steam Locomotive Vol.1 & Vol.2" by J.W. Harding. I got mine for $12.95. It's in paperback and about 300 pages. Even though not everything about steam locos is covered*, you will learn so much more than that other book that you were asking about!!!*This book is from the series put out years ago by the International Correspondence Schools in order to educate the railroad workers across the nation. There were many more books in the series and most were dedicated to one particular subject, such as valve gears or feedwater heater, etc.
Big Jim, this was a great recommendation! That's a bargain for the info it contains.
