I have not seen this new issue mentioned on the list, unless I completely missed it, but I received my copy of RPCyc 35 today. It is everything you wanted to know about the 1937 boxcar including 180 pages of diagrams covering everything from brakes to underframes to roofs and has 200 pages of photos of all the roads that owned these cars with a complete roster. It is offered by Rons Books and has the same look and feel of the previous 34 volumes. Bill Darnaby

The same look and feel . . . except of course that it’s 385 pages. A very hefty volume indeed. The photos include variations over time of paint schemes and also some exotica , such as the C&O waffle-end version. A very worthwhile addition to our libraries.
BTW, the “peanuts” that Ron’s Books uses are biodegradable.

I will second what everyone else has said; the drawings and photos, especially of cars that have been in service, are fantastic; but don't drop the book on your foot! It weighs over 3 pounds!
