This review is from: 1922 Locomotive Cyclopedia (CD-ROM)

The book this CD is based on was effectively a joint catalog of the locomotive equipment available from manufacturers in the United States in 1922, from whole locomotives to every detail part, even the nuts and bolts. It contains a huge amount of stuff, and if you're interested in locomotives in this kind of in-depth way, it's marvellous. The physical book sells for hundreds of dollars, if you can find it at all, making this a bargain indeed - let alone the fact that they've scanned it all for you and even provide a utility to print out images at various scales.
