Summary: Very good
Review: I am a train fanatic and I know a good reference book when I see one, and this book is one of the best I've ever seen. I have refered to this book at least fifty times at the railroad (whose name is undisclosed) that I work as a volunteer at. Simply an amazingly informitive book that I would recomend to any train fan of almost any age.

Summary: Large book but has some short comings
Review: The book is a fair to good encyclopedia of trains. It has a large number of foreign engines. Most of the photos are taken from the front and one side and not in profile. The Little Joe appears to be a A-unit but is in fact an A-unit on both ends. The pictures are not very large. Profile drawings would be a good addition.It is not complete for North America and leaves out many novel, limited production engines like the S-1 Turbine and General Motors Aerotrain. Some specifications are not available like engine length on many engines. Engine length and height are useful when determining whether a model is scale or not. It is a good book but did not meet all my expectations and I am still searching for a more comprehensive guide to mainly North American locomotives.
