Discover the history of a pioneer HO scale manufacturer in The Penn Line Story: A History and Collector's Guide. Researched and documented by Garrett L. Stauffer, son of one of Penn Line's founders, this new book presents a wealth of information, facts, and colorful illustrations for the collector and hobbyist alike.

Launched after World War II, Penn Line helped establish the popularity of HO scale model trains. The company offered craftsman-level kits for several steam locomotive prototypes in the early 1950s, and by the 1960s was producing a line of fully assembled plastic trains.

In fact, many Penn Line models remain on the market today. Get on board with this fun hobby history!

The Santa Fe and Grain Story tells the history of the Santa Fe's role in the transportation of grains and grain products over the last century. Wheat was the most important grain to the railroad, which had extensive lines throughout the Midwest, including the major wheat- producing states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Eastern Kansas, Missouri and Illinois added corn-growing territory to the story, and eastern Texas featured rice. Other important grains were barley, oats and grain sorghums, all of which are discussed to some extent.

The farm economy for the entire life of the Santa Fe followed a boom-and-bust cycle. There were prosperous years when the railroad carried large amounts of grain where grain traffic was light. This made it difficult for the Santa Fe to plan for efficient use of cars and to project revenues.

The Santa Fe entered the trade by carrying grain in 25-ton capacity boxcars traveling relatively short distances. Over the next 125 years, grain cars increased in type and capacity: first to 50-ton boxcars, then to covered hopper cars (initially with 70-ton capacity), to today's cars with a capacity of over 140 tons.

As the type and capacity of cars was changing, there were also more grain cars per train traveling longer average distances so that by the end of the period, grain was moving long distances in solid unit trains.

This book is the first in a series to be produced by the Santa Fe Railway Historical and Modeling Society discussing the Santa Fe's involvement with important commodities shipped on its lines.

The Soo Line was built to break the monopolies of the Hill Roads, the Northern Pacific Railroad and Great Northern Railway in northern Minnesota. The Soo Line as a late arrival on the Minnesota railroad scene had to be lean, mean and innovative in its quest to secure a place amid its more powerful and well-established rivals.

It was the classic story of David facing off against Goliath With 320 pages, 300 photographs and over 50 maps and diagrams, The Soo Line in Minnesota illustrates the rich history of this classic northern Minnesota railroad.

The DSP&P headed out from Denver, snaking through the canyon formed by the South Platte River, crested Kenosha Pass and headed across the Great South Park to Como, Colorado. From there the line split, one track headed for the Gunnison Country via Trout Creek Pass, Nathrop, Chalk Creek and the famed Alpine Tunnel.

Then downgrade to Gunnison with its promise of mining traffic and cattle..and the dream of the Pacific. The other line headed for Leadville crossing the Continental Divide two times in the process. The South Park finally reached its intended destinations, but arrived too late, the Rio Grande's track crews had beaten them each time.

This is the story of this 'underdog' railroad, also know as the Damned Slow & Pretty Rough Riding.

By Ronald C. Flanary, Scott D. Lindsey, David P. Oroszi

Beautiful Southern Green and Cream cab units, high-hood second-generation diesel units, lush green scenery, bright red cabooses, well-maintained track, massive bridges and trestles and division maps - the Southern Railway is well illustrated in this White River Productions title.

There was a time, particularly during the 1970s, when virtually every railroad enthusiast was, in some manner, a Southern Railway fan. The cause for such notoriety was the Southern's long-running steam excursions, a program that began in 1966 and was eventually discontinued by successor Norfolk Southern in 1994.

As spectacular and successful as the steam program was, it did not adequately touch on the extraordinary success of the Southern as a railroad system. The company that gave a "Green Light to Innovations" was always at the forefront of the US railroad industry by virtually any metric one could use.

Rather than being remembered for its grand, green and gold-striped Ps-4 Pacific types, Saluda Grade, or the streamlined Southerner of 1941, it was the "modern" Southern that commanded respect. Southern was an early convert to diesel-electric traction.

The company's management led the way into the 1960s with remote mid-train helper locomotives, mechanized track gangs, welded rail, and a fleet of specialized freight cars to handle all types of commodities and finished goods.

There was also one of the earliest computer-driven car location systems, a virtually spotless safety record, and ground-breaking regulatory accomplishments that proved to be precursors to today's largely unregulated industry.

Today's railroad industry is now largely free from the archaic constraints that kept it from being fully competitive with other forms of transportation, thanks in large part to Southern's innovations. This book, the combined efforts of 75 photographers plus input from some of the leading historians of the railroad that "Served the South," is a division-by-division visual tour of the work-a-day Southern.

This 256-page volume, with 380 outstanding color images, and 12 detailed maps, is the most comprehensive visual history of the modern Southern ever published. Chapter introductions provide context to better understand each geographic region's traffic base, its lines and terminals, and of course its trains.

It's all here as well, from first class freights with nearly 200 cars and mid-train power, plus the Southern Crescent, on down to the most lowly of yard switchers, local freights and mine runs. And of note is the foreword written by Wick Moorman, who started his distinguished railroad career with the Southern Railway.

The streamline style, which began by rounding corners of immobile objects, ushered in the Moderne era across America in the 1930s. Railroads decided to streamline with the coming of the diesel locomotive.

Featured is the influence of designers such as Cret, Dreyfus, Bel Geddes, Kuhler, and Lowey. The evolution of semi-streamlining took place as depression-poor railroads attempted to modernize. The coming of Burlington's Zephyr and Union Pacifics M-1000, started a mad dash by Americas railroads to streamline passenger trains.

There is also a chapter on streamlining of trains around-the-world. Some aircraft and automobiles of the era are also presented.

After collecting all that rolling stock over the years, it's time to build a layout and add those structures! The author is an MMR (master model railroader) and the photos are high-quality printed on quality paper.

I especially like the HO scale model of the M-K-T depot at Boonville, Missouri which is a Spanish-style structure. There are many good ideas here. Structures are a key part of your model railroad, providing visual interest as well as backdrop for your layout.

The Structure Handbook for Model Railroaders offers modelers new skills, tips, and tricks that can be applied to the construction, finishing, and placement of structures in any scale.

Surveys show that many of today's readers - airliner and automobile oriented - have only vague impressions of older trains; in many instances, they are all but unaware of what they looked like. Few, if any, of those readers have ever been on a train, least of all, one that ran over forty years ago.

The author is cognizant of this lack of familiarity and so it is that he offers, for inspection, earnestly and affectionately, the legendary Super Chief. May this meeting of reader and train be easy, unhurried, and, most assuredly, worthwhile.

Stan Repp was, at one time, called, much to his pleasure, a 'one-man latter-day promotion team' for the Super Chief. In accepting that devotee laurel wreath, he is mindful of the responsibility that goes with the accolade, and accordingly, presents this book as his best effort at time-laps recollection in revealing a Great American Train of the past . . . the Santa Fe Railway's Super Chief.

For well over 100 years, there was a close and usually mutually beneficial relationship between the City of Parsons, Kansas, and what became the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company (M-K-T or -the Katy-). Parsons, located on rolling prairie land near the southeast corner of Kansas, depended largely on the Katy for its basic employment, those jobs which brought money into the community.

In fact, during the first half of that period it was almost a textbook example of a railroad town. Covering the years 1865 to 2012, the authors relate the fascinating story of how Parsons was the site of the Katy's main locomotive repair shop until its merger with the Union Pacific in 1988.

Many South Platte Press titles are focused on early railroad history and are usually Black and White photographs. This book is mostly color photographs beginning with a color photo looking down at the depot from an overpass with two Burlington Northern business cars parked out front.

Most pictures are large format with one picture per page. You will see the Pioneer Zephyr parked at the depot, many silver E-units, business cars, run-through power and Amtrak. In the past several decades, the railroad presence in the downtown area of Lincoln, Nebraska, has been significantly diminished.

This pictorial looks at the many changes that have taken place around the city's former Burlington and Amtrak station between the early 1960's and 2012. The authors, noted Lincoln area rail historians, recount the history of Lincoln’s "Burlington box," various steam and football excursions that operated, and changes to local passenger train service during the Amtrak era.

Photographs by a number of local rail photographers show the equipment, area facilities and special events that supported depot operations. This is a visual document of how the trains of Lincoln Station were gradually replaced by what is now a vibrant retail and event district for Nebraska's capital city.

Volume 1 is long out-of-print. Arizona Hobbies has never seen a copy of Volume 1.

Signed by both authors and numbered. Here is Volume 2 of the two Volume set about the Union Pacific 4-12-2 steam locomotive type. This unusual locomotive wheel arrangement, only found in the United States on the Union Pacific (hence the name 'Union Pacific Type'), was literally hated by some Union Pacific managers.

This three-cylinder design pushed the limits of locomotive design theory and the railroad's own clearance and other mechanical restrictions. Inside this book is the story of the design, fabrication, modification and operation of these 88 locomotives which lasted on the Union Pacific until the end of steam locomotive operations.

The Virginian Railway was known for gigantic steam locomotives, electrics, and Fairbanks-Morse diesels, all purchased for the purpose of hauling heavy coal trains out of West Virginia. After merger into Norfolk & Western in late 1959, much of the road still exists under Norfolk Southern and has been well-recorded in this book.

From it's beginnings in 1904 until abandonment of most trackage in 1992, the Visalia Electric Railroad had a fascinating history. Built as an electric line which pioneered 15-cycle alternating current in the United States, it operated orange interurban cars along its 30-mile route until 1924.

Serving the Sierra Nevada foothill region of eastern Tulare County, the VE became a local fixture as towns and agriculture developed. From the outset in 1904, the Visalia Electric Railroad had all its stock owned by the Southern Pacific.

Primarily serving the growing areas east of Exeter, branches extended eastward toward Sequoia National Park, and southward to Strathmore. After Passenger Service ended in 1924, electric freight operations continued until 1944.

Thereafter, diesels provided service, from GE 44-tonners to handed-down SP ALCO and EMD switchers. Loss of perishable traffic finally doomed the line, and the last significant trackage was abandoned in 1992.

In its heyday, the VE carried out a variety of operations, all described in this Volume, from passenger excursions and commuting, to electric and gas-electric freight service to numerous packing sheds along the line.

Though owned by Southern Pacific, many aspects of operations were locally controlled until 1964. Ownership of locomotives, motor cars, cabooses, and other rolling stock is all presented here, in photographs and rosters.

Some 249 photographs, most previously unpublished, and 15 maps, enrich the book. Phil Kauke has worked many years assembling information and collecting photographs to create this history. That it is now appearing will gratify not only electric traction fans, but also enthusiasts of the Southern Pacific, as this small but vital part of the system was quite interesting in its own right.

Every rail-fan who ever saw a photograph of a 44-ton locomotive lettered Visalia Electric understands that interest. Table of Contents: Introduction, 1. Early Railroad Developments, 2.

To many, the far eastern end of the Wisconsin Central is somewhat of a mystery. This book documents building to Chicago and the men who did it. Telling this story must include what was happening not only in Milwaukee and Chicago, but also in the great banking centers of New York and Boston. It took money to build a railroad, how it was financed was just as important as the actual construction.

Of course, the story did not end after the final spike was driven. The author has attempted to show the various factors that affected the Chicago extension, both internal and external. How it entered Chicago, the problems it faced and how they were resolved is a fascinating story of turn of the century railroading The influence of the Northern Pacific was always present.

In fact, the WC was originally conceived as a link for NP traffic to the east. This would come to fruition once the Chicago extension was completed. The signing of the lease to the NP came with high expectations for the future. However, they were short-lived and the financial collapse of the NP not only pulled the WC down with it, but also the Chicago terminals.

It would take six years before the WC lines emerged from bankruptcy and were united. With new management and under the skillful hand of President Whitcomb the railroad enjoyed nearly a decade of prosperity before being swallowed by a Canadian Road, the Canadian Pacific. The book is divided into two parts.

Chapters 1-11 concentrate on the railroad, from its inception to its lease to the Soo Line (Canadian Pacific) in 1909. The final two chapters profile the railroad facilities for each town served, including bridges and milk stops. A short history is included for each, along with what traffic was generated.

Some of the maps are copies of original plat maps drawn when the railroad was built. Other maps are from journals and newspapers and have not been seen in over 100 years.

Thirty years in the making, this new hardcover publication tells the complete story of these fascinating logging locomotives. Presented in construction number order, the articulated engines are covered individually in great detail with statistics and full histories that document each locomotive from the day it left Baldwin's sprawling Eddystone, Pennsylvania, factory to its ultimate disposition.

Between 1909 and 1937, the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, produced 44 specialized locomotives that were either built for, or later transitioned to, the rigors of hauling raw logs on railroads where the grades were steep and the curves many.

While all of these locomotives were built as articulated they varied greatly in design and appearance. Most were built as compound articulateds (Mallets) but two companies, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Uintah Railway, received simple articulateds.

Water carrying methods were also wide-ranging. While most were built as tank locomotives others were equipped with a separate tender. Furthering the variations from as-built configurations, several of the tank locomotives were later converted by removing the side or semi-saddle tanks and adding a conventional tender.

While most of the logging articulateds toiled away in relative obscurity, several gained acclaim for their well-traveled longevity. Remarkably, ten of the locomotives have survived and several of those remain active over a century after their construction.

Beyond the exhaustively researched text, Timber Titans: Baldwin's Articulated Logging Locomotives features 455 Black and White and Color photographs that have been painstakingly restored to their original appearance.

All have been reproduced in high resolution with many presented full-page. Additionally, two full-color drawings, four three-dimensional renderings, and an original oil painting for the cover, were all commissioned specifically for this 256-page volume.
