Review: Great reference book - I am an N-scale model railroader and model Western Pennsylvania during the 1950's.The one thing I had to model was coal operations and long drags of coal hoppers. Some of my earliest childhood memories about trains are sitting at a crossing waiting for a 100 plus coal hopper train pass by. I am close to Pittsburgh and I am also close to Lake Erie so I can model the coal docks and loading/unloading operations. This book has a huge amount of detail and is nice for a person who never worked in the coal industry or train industry. A lot of questions were answered. I am not a fanatic about every last detail but I don't want my layout to look like a homemade bicycle. Kalmbach Publishing Company offers a huge selection of these information filled books.It seems pricey at $17 dollars for 98 pages but it is worth much more if you are modeling coal operations. I have a big selection of Kalmbach reference books in my train room but they were purchased locally.so I won't review them here. I think this would make a great gift idea for a model railroader.
Review: Learn About Coal Mining Railroads - My great-grandfather was a coal miner and I grew up in the coal mining territory of western Pennsylvania where railroads were an everyday fact of life. This book explains the use and ultimate value of railroads to coal mining. Two railroads, the Pennsylvania and the B & O (Baltimore and Ohio) ran through my hometown, as did the narrow gauge Waynesburg & Washington (known as the W & W, or the Wiggeley Waggeley). With this book you learn how to model such railroads, and also learn much about the coal mining and railroading industries. A really good read.
