Brian-
Same basic format, reprints from the Locomotive and Carbuilder's Cyclopedias; some photos, some plans. Charlie Vlk Charlie, Wonderful resource you linked, I enjoyed perusing all 292 pages. Thank you much for presenting it here. I have Lucas's "100 Year of Classic Steam Locomotives" but do not know about the other two Lucas titles you mentioned. Would you characterize them, please? Do they contain drawings? Thanks much, Brian Brian Chapman Evansdale, Iowa > .

This is a Walter Lucas book that I did not have in my Library (three other titles by him that I do have are 100 Years of Classic Steam Locomotives, Locomotives and Cars Since 1900, and 100 Years of Railroad Cars). < Free pdf download from Google books: http://www.google.com/books?id=ryhSAAAAMAAJ <

The terms and conditions don't appear to preclude me from putting a copy up, so:

Jeff, apparently for some they cannot be read in the US either. I tried to bring up the book and the message came back that there was a problem in the linkage to the pdf.

Thanks for your help, but the "read" button is missing.

That may well be a Google discrimination against foreign aliens such as me, a Dutchman. It happens more often that US sites cannot be opened by users outside the US. Send me a copy of the PDF maybe??? Have fuN, Maarten Vis Leidschendam, The Netherlands Ray Breyer schreef:

This is a Walter Lucas book that I did not have in my Library (three other titles by him that I do have are 100 Years of Classic Steam Locomotives, Locomotives and Cars Since 1900, and 100 Years of Railroad Cars).
I went to grade school with his son and knew he was an HO Model Railroader and vaguely knew he worked for Simmons-Boardman; wish I'd known more and met him and knew what questions to ask him!! Charlie Vlk I ran into this on another forum. This is a Simmons-Boardman book. It's a condensation of material from late '40s S-B Cyclopedias aimed at the hobbyist audience. At a quick look it seems to be a great reference on the state of the art of railroading technology during the ever-popular transition era.
