COMMENTS FROM READERS
It is by far the very best publication on a single railway subject to ever be published. Research is truly an outstanding effort and the reproduction and illustrations are without peer. After producing some 21 hardcover railroad books myself I think you have established a new standard for such publications.

This remarkable book is perhaps the most complete account of the mechanical and operating life of a single steam locomotive to appear to date.”

It is fabulous, way more than I expected. What a thorough job. Beautiful book. I was really astounded.

I can’t put it down. It is awesome and easily worth 3 times the price of $80! The illustrations, diagrams, historical information, and details of the restoration are all there. …. What has really impressed me is the how it is packaged and presented. A masterpiece to treasure!

It is head and shoulders above many of the hundreds of railroad books I have in my collection.

WOW! I have always considered the Rocky Mtn. Railroad Club books … to be the Gold Standard of railroad books, but this one is, I believe, a level or two above them.

Overall not only a great book, but, this has to be suggested – no, required – reading for any group wanting to restore a locomotive or other piece of rolling stock. I’ve been involved with several groups who have failed trying to restore a locomotive or even a car, and this book shows the way. —sirg1744
Monumental!

Received THE BOOK yesterday… fantastic.You did a great job putting it together (and giving credit to all the people who helped you). My love for steam locomotives has already been enhanced just by the six hours I’ve spent in the book so far.

The chapters on History and Technology are wonderful bookends for your meticulous and detailed text on the rehabilitation of #315. … I got it at noon at the post office and opened it up just for a minute and planned to get on with my schedule. Ha, just scanning the pages and photos, it is suddenly supper time.
—Ed Hunter, Victor, CO
Fantastic job with the 315 book. It took me two days just to thumb through the book. Great selection of photos, too, especially the historic ones.

I did get the 315 Book. And a masterpiece of a book it is too.
