Book Reviews of Model Railroader Cyclopedia: Steam Locomotives (Model Railroader)
Book Review: Excellent primer on steam locomotives
Summary: 5 Stars
Were someone to come up to me and ask for a single book that would be the most informative to introduce them to steam locomotives, I would not hesitate to recommend this one. It has a very informative section that discusses basic steam locomotive theory and the systems, controls and devices on a steam locomotive and what each does. There is a wonderful cut-away drawing of a typical steam locomotive that shows these components in their relationship to others.
The remainder of the book explains the various locomotive classifications and provides numerous examples of each classification, along with hundreds of pictures that illustrate them very well.
Highly recommended.
