This was misrepresented as a guide similar to those in the Peterson's Field Guide series. I expected at least a comparable quality to this so-called field guide, only to find a thin volume, with s singlr line drawing, no photos, and very limited descriptions and over priced. One would be better served doing an internet search for better info and representation.

Having recently become serious about model railroading in the diesel era, this book is exactly what I needed. Going to toy train shows and seeing row upon row of locomotives for sale can be rather daunting, but this little book is the perfect companion for just such a trip. It's concise, well illustrated and easily fits in my pocket. Perhaps one of the best purchases I've made in this hobby.

Any bird watcher who is also an HO layout builder will appreciate a good field guide for trains rather than birds. I was attracted by the title of the book and found the online views to confirm my hope that the book would be useful. It is a good reference for trains, included some older diesel units which are not too common. The book is a good reference but is not a total review of ALL rolling stock ever produced. After receiving the book I am satisfied with the purchase

The book is easy to use and is well organized. Drawings, not pictures, so the identifying features are visible, instead of the logo's and paint schemes. The descriptions are concise but thorough. I find it to be helpful and informative
