When it first appeared in 1967, the Diesel Spotters Guide brought much-needed organization to the sport of diesel spotting in North America. Subsequent guides have covered the evolution of the diesel-electric. Now, more than 40 years, The Contemporary Diesel Spotters Guide, puts a Diesel Era spin on the 2008 edition. The year 2008 edition will help you identify diesel locomotives from such spotting features as hood shape, truck type, and the location and number of fans, louvers, and doors. Printed in standard 6 x 9 size for easy carrying in the field, this 248-page book contains more than 500 color photographs. It is a must for railfan and model railroader libraries alike.
