The book is a treasury of information that would be lost forever if not for Arno and David.  David Carse spent countless hours sifting through and organizing Arno's information, and he wrote most of the text.  Despite all of that, he is very modest about taking credit for his contribution.  Please show appreciation for this effort by buying the book.

And be sure to read the introduction before you dig into the chapters about the various manufacturers.

The most expensive addition to my train room! Not the price of the book but the potential purchases it may (will) cause. So much information.  Items I never knew existed but suddenly find myself needing  David Carse has done an incredible job putting all of Arno's research into this wonderful reference book. Thank you to everyone that had a hand in making it happen.  Arno would love this!!!

Fortunately for my bank account, most of the items (other than McCoy) are pretty scarce, so there's less opportunity for temptation.  OTOH, Jim Waterman is making some interesting stuff, and he'll be getting some of my money.

Waterman Locomotive Works has lots of eye candy. Picked up a Challenger from Jim last year.  Thinking I may need a Zephyr next!
