I feel like I have nothign in my library:

About a dozen of old 60's-70's magazine, 1 from the 80's and 2 from the 90's, a generic book about steam engines, two diesel superdetailling books, one Lance Mindheim and a totally outdated Walthers catalog.

In fact, my prototype (QRL&PCo) has little books written on it. Most of the time, I found pictures in archives and pressure old folks to recall their childhood memories when the train was still running strong in the area. These books included the excellent serie of traction books from Thomas Grumley (Bytown Railway Society), Tramways de Québec & Tramways de Montréal by Jacques Pharand and an original copie of Le Chemin de fer de la Bonne Sainte-Anne (1959) by Omer Lavallée.

I must admit that since I started to use Internet in 1997, most of my time was spent on railways. I search and find stuff, sometimes reading a couple of pages on Google Books. That amazing all the old stuff from the 1800's you can find there. I remember reading a complete surveyor report about an actual CN mainline. It's interesting to see the "REAL" reason why the track went there and not here. But nothing beats a real book. Recently, a old friend of mine gave me a set of CN freight cars booklets, the kind that was used, I think, to show customer what was available. They are from early 1990's and quite useful when modelling modern cars.

Here is one I should have started out with!

It is apparently THE book on electric railroads. I haven't yet thoroughly explored it, but i'm hoping to find a little more on the Conrail era stuff, and something on the Jersey Arrows and Silverliners.

Just in-

Conrail Commodities- This books shows the major cargoes that conrail hauled, and photos of said trains (such as intermodal, auto industry, steel, etc). The book is accurate to 1992, a little beyond my modeling time period, but still interesting. If anyone were modeling Conrail in the 1990s, this book would absolutely be helpful.

Rod Clarke's Narrow Gauge through the Bush is down to half price.

Rod says that they've made their money back (and more) and he thinks he's saturated the railfan market in Ontario.

But he has just printed a supplement for $5 (IIRC).

Amazon.com has 1 copy for $300.!!!

Books ...
Is there one of you who has the book "Pennsylvania Railroad Flat Cars: Revenue and Work Equipment, 1881 to 1968" in his bookcase?
I'm in search for a good picture of PRR F29 deperessed center flat car, Series 1 or 2 (prefered 2) for exact lettering of a model.
What I found in web is this picture http://prr.railfan.net/freight/freightph...iew.jpg&fr and all the many pictures of F&C's model.
I would like to get the lettering on the Buckeye truck. Looking the link I can only suppose that PRR in the lower line stands. But about that? Who can help, please? Or who has picture(s) of othere surces.
Thanks for your help.

I don't have that book, but I DO have several issued of "The Keystone Modeler" as PDF files. I'm pretty sure there were some long-running articles on the different flat-car types, and so I can check to see if there is anything on the F29. The Keystone Modelers will probably have exactly what you're looking for.
