This Volume I of a 6-series set deals with early narrow gauge locomotives of the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad, one of the most colorful and beloved narrow gauge railroads of North America. The early engines of this railway varied from common Moguls and Consolidations, to a unique switcher that was truly one of a kind, to a couple of geared engines that have never been covered in detail before. Photos, drawings, and rare company documents bring the story of these little known engines into clear perspective. As a bonus, a modeling section presents the various kits and materials available to recreate the prototype in small scale. This is an essential "must have book" for fans of narrow gauge railroading.

Definite must for the ETWNC library,
By chris bryant (Music City USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Along the ET&WNC Volume I (Paperback)
If you are a fan or modeler of the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad,or just a narrow gauge enthusiast in general, this book is required reading and should be part of the essential ET&WNC book list. This volume covers the early locomotives used on the ET, with many great photos and drawings and loads of excellent material in regards to those early "iron horses" on the early history of the railroad. There is even a special section devoted to specifics on modeling these locomotives in various scales. Buy it!
