Rookie...  :D

How many duplicates you got in there?   ;)

I'm certainly a latecomer to the passenger game.  Thankfully those books haven't been too impossible to find at a decent price.  Hopefully future ones won't send me down the rabbit hole like the CNW one did.  Like I don't have enough projects in my head.

A few, which ones you need?  :) I was buying as needed and then Ron (RIP) took in a signed set with matching numbers at DPH and told me I was a rookie and needed to buy them all.

Nice.  That's about where mine stands too.

I suppose I should get back to it since Microscale now makes the decals for CGW passenger cars.  :facepalm:

Photos too.  Interior, trucks etc..  Bonus for me was the CGW baggage cars that Walthers did.  The back has a listing of the car numbers and what plans they are.  There's also one page with the car listings of the "New" 400s when they went into service.  I've watched for this book off and on for several years.  I found one in excellent shape for $25 and pulled the trigger.

Thanks for the review. Will definitely add this one to the "buy" list.
