Can anyone out there tell me about the quality of the publications reprinted by the ARM? They have a nice listing on their website, and I'm particularly interested in the ones regarding electric railway engineering and practice.

The price seems decent, but I was more curious as to the quality and durability of the reprint itself.

The ARM reprints are first rate. These really are an under-utilized resource.

No electric railway preservationist should be without the NOPSI manuals and the Richey manual.

They are well made and worth more than they cost. I wouldn't necessarily use them on the shop floor - but copy whatever relevant pages I need to get grubby and torn during the job, and keep the nice originals in a library.
