Modeling the Transition Era
By Tony Koester

In his all-new book, Modeling the Transition Era,
expert modeler Tony Koester takes an
in-depth look at the time period (and most
popular modeling era) when railroads were
changing from steam locomotives to diesel
during the 1940s and 1950s. The book includes:
- An overview of the era – why diesel locomotives replaced steam
locomotives, and how they each worked.
- A guide to the types of railroad equipment in use (freight and
passenger).
- A look at typical railroad operations of the era and how they
adapted from steam to diesel.
