I’m looking into starting a new project I need help locating a list of stream engines for the following railroads B&O,C&O,WM and L&N from 1935 to 1955
I would like to do a HO scale layout in this time frame. Thanks in advance J

Hello “J,”

We have just the information you’re asking for in a book called “Guide to North American Steam Locomotives,” compiled by George Drury. It’s available in hobby stores and on the shopping section of this Web site. It includes rosters and histories on the steam locoxmotives of all major railroads, and a lot of other useful information too.

Best wishes,

Andy

For the B&O you might want to track down A. Stauffer’s big book on B&O Power. Warning: it goes for collector prices these days and it is black and white.
