Some years back MR had an article about all the diesel locomotives made to that time. It was done as a chart/graph and showed how many of each of the locos were made, the years the were made and how long they were in service.
Does anyone remember seeing it?
Does anyone remember the issue?
Is the issue available still or a reprint?
Diesel Shop contains diesel rosters from the various RR’s. (You can probably just do the math by finding the earilest and latest built dates of the locomotives you’re interested in.) Yard Limit has the kind of info you are looking for but it’s limited to yard switchers.
If its the one I am thinking of, it was a couple of years ago, bur didn’t include quite everything. It was broken down into scale. I’m sure the issue is sitting around my room someplace.
Kalmback has some diesel spotter books, and I think they are coming out with a special edition mag called Diesel Victory? I plan on getting it. I vaguely remember the article you are talking about.
Thanks for the replies so far. I guess I wasn’t clear enough in my description. The article I referred to was a 1:1 article on the real locomotives. It might have been done by a staff writer and it would be about 15 to 20 years ago.
