MCA Book 64: General Electric Gas-Electric Cars

Publisher: SilverLake Images  |  Format: Softcover, 8.5 × 11 in., B&W illustrations & photographs

This volume in the SilverLake Images Manufacturers' Catalog Archive (MCA) series reprints original General Electric promotional and sales materials for GE's gas-electric self-propelled railcars — the so-called "doodlebugs" that served branch lines and rural runs across North America from the 1920s onward. Content includes builder specifications, performance data, interior and exterior illustrations, and fleet information as originally published by the manufacturer.

An essential primary-source reference for historians, modelers, and railfans researching early self-propelled rail equipment and GE's role in the development of the gas-electric car.
