Black-and-white prints, made to order, of mainly railroad cabooses and nonrevenue equipment of all types, dating from the 1940s on (with a few earlier). There are also some freight cars, a few passenger cars, and many locomotives, mainly steam. These prints are for sale to collectors, authors, modelers, and publishers, and may be published, with permission, free of charge except for a free copy of the publication the pictures appear in.

Lists are available for 117 class 1 railroads, most of which have operated in North America since 1940. Up to three of these lists may be had for a large self-addressed stamped envelope. They can be scanned and sent, in bitmap (bmp) format over the internet upon request.

General catalog, for $20, lists all prints, including extra views.

In addition, there are some specialized catalogs:

Caboose catalog, for $10, gives details of all caboose pictures available.

Crane catalog, for $8, gives details of all crane pictures available.

Snowplow catalog, for $7, lists all plows, flangers, spreaders, and similar cars.

Revenue cars, for $7, lists all freight and passenger cars.

Do you have old black-and-white negatives that you would like printed? I can print any negative from 35mm up to 4x5, and (with a little clipping) 3-1/2 x 5-1/2, at the same prices as for my own prints. I cannot do color negatives. (Also, no nudes or pornography, please.)

For sale or trade: Numerous b&w negatives taken 1969 – 1979 of locomotives. Some cabooses and work equipment, mostly culls from my own collection. Numerous bus slides, 1991 – 2000.

This new book, two years in preparation, is intended specifically for the model railroader. It illustrates and describes all categories of nonrevenue equipment and explains their use on railroads. There is an emphasis on the historical aspect.
