Book excerpt: Diesel locomotives first began appearing on American railroads more than 65 years ago, and it wasn't long before they began to appear on model railroaders' layouts. Crude by today's standards, those early replicas are now prized collectibles. By the 1950s, injection-molding techniques made it possible to offer fairly accurate models at a reasonable price. The quantity and quality of models have continued to improve, allowing accurate re-creations in each modeler's design.Diesel Modeler's Guide, Volume 2 provides the reader with more useful prototype information, as well as the latest tips, including techniques and insights from noted modelers. The articles are from issues of Model Railroading magazine published in 1996 and 1997, and are grouped by railroad to provide a handy reference guide.
