Now that all you traction experts (and I consider most of you experts) have
analyzed the world of the published word, I'll tell you where I'm coming
from.  My top five books are:

1. Traction Guidebook - What was there and how to model it.
2. Traction Planbook - just plans.
3. Dave Frary's Scenery book - I don't like the looks of track on Homosote.
4. Penna Trolleys: Pittsburgh Region, Morning Sun book - details, details.
5. Ron Beal's Pittsburgh Railways book - I know some of you don't think it
is worth the paper but what other single book has so much PRCo info?

Are you getting the drift?  I like to make streetcar models.  That's why you
don't hear too much from me on the list...

Only in the newspaper files.  I don't know if there's ever been a history of
"The Amalgamated."
