    Not nearly what it could have been!
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018*

Sort of disappointing.  I have read other material from Tony Koester and he knows a LOT.  Unfortunately, instead of looking at one of the most fascinating transitional eras in American railroading we get a mish-mash of sometime contradictory information.  There is not a lot new here and most of what is presented pertains to the author's work on modeling one Midwest railroad (the NYC&StL or "Nickle Plate" line).  I am not sorry that I bought this, but I am disappointed.  In the past the author and publisher have shown they can do better, this just looks like a rush job.  Too bad!

    all talk and no game
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019*

This book lacks information relevant to the subject. There’s hardly any decent pictures of what you’d expect to be something useful for trying to model the transition period. The whole reason I got it was for a source of basic information and mostly images to base my build off but there’s wasn’t anything good in it. You’d probably be better off with a collage textbook on the history of transportation post WW2 and not waste your money on publications from the model railroader people..

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    TRANSITION INTO NOTHING
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018*

Overpriced for a average mag that does not do justice to the subject.  Learned very little...hoping for more information on steam an diesel actual units of the postwar early 50 lines.
