So just came across these guys today while searching for online copies of the Car Builders’ Cyclopedia of American Practice. These are great references for scratch builders of early era cars. These guys have a very good collection available online. But they have tons more. Stuff on everything railroading from back in the day.
Yep, they’re a great resource. That’s where I found most of those old catalogs.

Geez and i loved your post cliff and did not put two and two together about the source. I thought the page looked familiar. Duh.
Great song Rooster, I listened to the whole thing. Lot of meat on that bone.
And great site, Devon. By different paths, we both discovered it. So let us know what things you unearth there!
