I realize RyPN readers might be reluctant to hear about someone hawking a RR book, but I think this one is worthy of a plug. Besides, I don't profit from its sale anyway!
The book is "Locomotive: Building an Eight-Wheeler" by David Weitzman.
Like his previous book "Superpower," Mr. Weitzman takes you through the construction of a generic eight-wheeler steam locomotive with deft use of text and his exquisitely detailed pen drawings.
I found my copy in a discount book catalog for Daedalus Books for a mere $3.98 + shipping. It was priced four times that when first published in 1999. It's a thin hardbound book with dust jacket. You won't regret getting a copy! It's as much a work of art as it is a simple technical description.
Call Daedalus at 1-800-395-2665 M-F 9AM-10PM EST or Sat. 9AM-5PM EST.
Or check out their Web site:

Ask for that title and #13138.
