Resource for looking up Locomotives by type/model

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hello,

For a while now, I have looking for an internet or book resources that would allow me to see who has locomotives by type & model. I have been unsuccessful. For example, I have an undec GE 8-40B & would like to see who may have owned 8-40B’s to see if I’d like to paint any of their schemes. Or perhaps, who had SD-24’s, etc.

I have found plenty of Road Name rosters & enjoy them, but it would be nice to find listing by Locomote Type.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thank you!

For some years I have used Google and Yahoo for searching out locos. The only cost is what I paid for my PC, Internet provider and electricity.

Ok. once in a while I find what looks like a good book. I use those two search engines and most of the time find a better price and order the book on line.

Many times I find other related links which helps a lot in model railroading.

Whenever you find what looks like good links, immediately store the links in Favorites.
