  • Outstandind Book on Mason Bogie Locomotives

    Hi... I am working on a garden railroad base on Marin County Train History... I wanted to learn more about the Mason Bogie locomotives,,, and this book was just fantastic as a helping hand... I recommend it for everyone interested on old trains of the 1890's... It covers the entire USA and for me in Marin, it talked about two Bogies that ran here in the 1890's... There is also little side stories embedded in the write-ups,,, that how this Author was able to find out about,,, I am clueless over... In my case a bell with a different sound made with silver coins... "Much Fun!"
