5.0 out of 5 stars Currently the best planbook available, August 24, 1999
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for diesel, July 17, 2000
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Dated, But Still Useful, May 14, 2004
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.
