Editorial Reviews

"Aimed at enthusiasts, modelers, and a wider public, this certainly shows the great variety of North American railroads from class 1 roads to shortlines, from small switchers to multiple unit lash-ups, and so makes an excellent 'sampler'. Any US fan should be happy to get it as a gift!"

Continental Modeller

"If modern diesels and electrics float your boat enough to cross the Atlantic, these books are for you. A snapshot of what is out there, and if it is your scene, both books are buyers' delights."
