This book provides diagrams of all orders encompassing the 90 locomotives, an HO scale mechanical drawing by Bob Hundman, and detailed history of the operations of these engines throughout their lives, illustrated by over 110 photographs. A map and many tables of specifications are included. This is the complete story.
