5.0 out of 5 stars
Currently the best planbook available,
By A Customer
This review is from: Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Vol. 2: Diesel Locomotives (Paperback)
If you want to build diesels from scratch, this is the best planbook you will find. There are photos, write-up and other data also! The only things it lacks, are more roster info and detail drawings of fans, lights etc, which would be helpful in model building.

Must have for diesel,
This review is from: Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Vol. 2: Diesel Locomotives (Paperback)
I like this almost as much as the steam version. For roster info, I use Marre's Contemporary Diesel Spotters Guide 2nd Edition

Dated, But Still Useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Model Railroader Cyclopedia, Vol. 2: Diesel Locomotives (Paperback)
This is truly a classic in the field of motive power books. Readers will find crisply printed diagrams, technical information and well reproduced pictures on large-sized pages. This is not a volume to put on your workbench as it is large. Since the content is somewhat dated; i.e. you won't find many 2nd generation units in there, I wish Kalmbach would develop and print an updated edition; I know I'd buy it. Highly recommended.
