Modeling & Detailing Diesels, Volume 2

Thanks to an ever-growing number of quality diesel models being produced and an abundance of diesel detail parts being offered, the modeling and detailing of diesels continues to be a growing segment of the hobby that is enjoyed by more model rail­roaders than ever before. Without question HO modelers have the greatest choices when it comes to the availability of various prototype equipment and detail parts, but modelers in N, O and S are also seeing their options expanding

Although all of the modeling projects in this book were done in HO except for one in N scale, modelers in all scales can greatly benefit from the prototype information and modeling techniques offered in Model Railroading’s Guide to Modeling and Detailing Diesels — Volume Two. Whether or not you are modeling the specific proto­types covered, the information provided by the authors can help you improve your results as well as your enjoyment.

Taken from the pages of Model Railroading magazine, the articles in this book have been grouped by railroad and compiled to provide a handy reference guide for the diesel modeler. All of the articles were originally published in Model Railroading between October 1991 and October 1992. Price information contained in the various articles should only be used as a guide since it represents the prices that were in effect when the articles were originally published in Model Railroading. When necessary, other types of information have been updated and corrected prior to inclusion in this book. Some additional, previously unpublished drawings by Jeffrey W. Capps have also been included. — September 1993.
