Actual Railroad Issued documents for accurate modelling

[Raildata]

Hi All,

 

New member here. I know good accurate original information is needed for accurate models. I have been preserving copies of things like diagram books, erection drawings, timetables etc for over 35 years. The collection is mostly North American material as that is where I live. Along the way I have also accumulated things for other countries as well including Japan.

 

My main interest is NA steam loco information. I am especially looking for info on NA export locos and their lives after leaving here. I am also looking for steam loco diagrams, builders lists, rosters etc from anywhere. It is often interesting to be able to compare information from other countries. Another major interest is locating info on USATC locos before during and after the two wars. Shipping info, receiving info such as date, location, disposition, rebuildings, etc is especially sought.

 

I am interested in exchanging info with anyone willing to grow the information database. I am always glad to share whether one has something to exchange or not. I will gladly send a collection list if you contact me off forum at raildata45 at gmail dot com.

 

Blessings!
