While the history and development of the diesel locomotive are covered in detail, the primary emphasis is on presenting high-quality reference data for modelbuilding. The 70 individual locomotive drawings are accompanied by photographs showing the engines in various stages of their development from new, to in service, to, in some cases, retirement. We have included many other photos to help in the interpretation of the locomotive drawings and to illustrate how frequently the details of a particular engine were altered."
