Steam Locomotive Coaling Stations and Diesel Locomotive Fueling Facilities Compiled by Thomas W. Dixon, Jr. This book will be ideal for modelers interested in late steam locomotive and early diesel era engine terminals. It reproduces material originally contained in articles appearing in railway age and other trade magazines of the time, combined with many photos of various types of coaling and fueling facilities. Material is also gleaned from Fairbanks-Morse catalogs and ads of Ogle Engineering and Roberts & Schaefer, the three major builders of coaling stations. The coaling stations were usually huge towers of steel, concrete, or timber. Less obvious in the modern yard were the standpipes and tanks that were associated with fueling diesels in the first decades of their operation (before more sophisticated facilities came into use). These are also treated with text from the early 1950s and representative photos. Cinder conveyors are also covered. 80 pages, soft cover with scores of photos, drawings, and diagrams. Regular Price: $19.95.
