I have just put up several new steam locomotive catalogs from years past and a dozen or so new steam locomotive technical books on our new website, http://www.littleriverpress.com .

Of particular interest is the Brooks catalog from 1899, the Alco standard and export catalogs, and the great ATS Locomotive Maintenance set I mentioned here earlier. Also have the Pyle-National manual with a killer locomotive wiring schematic pullout set in it if you need it.

That's about going to get it for the steam tech stuff for us. I think we have in print a great bunch of material and I am sure proud that so many of the folks in the restoration/preservation crowd have been able to use this stuff. I want to see it get dirty!!

As I said, this will wrap it up for the locomotive technical material so maybe no more of these annoying commercials. I wouldn't put them up but I think what we have is of great benifit to some of you and I want you to know about it.

You may have noticed we are now "Little River Press, LLC" and not "Little River Locomotive Company". My dear friend and partner Harry is having to tend to some family sickness and we have moved the whole outfit to Alabama. We have lots of other publications as well as the steam tech stuff, but they are not all up on the site as of yet.

Again, I really thank you for your support and I hope all of you who have gotten the books over the years will be able to use them and pass the crafts on to the younger guys.

Come see me at Doe River Gorge this summer on the ET&WNC narrow gauge!
