Model Railroading > Amtrak by the Numbers by David C. Warner

Has anyone purchase or look at this book, if so what is your take on it? I am thinking about buying this book since it about the roster of all the rolling stock and motive power for Amtrak. I don't want to spend the money if it not worth getting the book, and please don't take this comment the wrong way just want to make sure that I am buying a good investment into this book.

Tony thank you for the write-up you got me sold will order the book, I am into the heavy early 80's to mid late 80's. I recall riding the BW Limited during the steam heated years and into the new era of the F40's and the HEP cars. I am modeling the Broadway and Lakeshore have all of the equipment just waiting on the Amfleet cars coaches and lounge, and even also modeling the BW Limited in phase III using the ex-up 44 seat coach and the ex-Santa Fe coach's. I sure you have seen the F40's I posted out on train order if not here 2, 1 done and the other 90 percent done and they are equip with the new LOCSOUND F40 Decoder and they are awesome

I have this book, it's an incredible wealth of information on the history of Amtrak's equipment going back to the very beginning, a must-have if you're an Amtrak fan!

It is truly an amazing book. Definitely worth having.
