Title: The Climax Locomotive by Dennis Thompson, Richard Dunn, Steve Hauff ISBN: 0-9647521-6-6 Publisher: Oso Publishing Company Pub. Date: June, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $67.95 |

Summary: Great Book, Poor Editing
Comment: For those interested in geared locomotives and the American logging craft this is a nice addition to their library. It complements, but does not compete with, "Climax - An Unusual Steam Locomotive" by Thomas T. Taber III and Walter Casler, Railroadians of America Inc., 1960 - a very rare text.
Please understand - this is NOT a reprint of Climax: A.U.S.L. but an entirely new edition.
The first printing of the first edition has several typos, places where text just drops off, and is in need of not a few edits. But to be fair, Oso Rail has created a Corrections data sheet ready for download as a PDF file at:
www.osorail.com
Get to the books page, click on the Climax link and at the bottom of the popup window you'll find the link to download the Corrections file.
Being a Shay lover and having "SHAY: Titan of the Timber" and "Steam and Thunder", both by Michael Koch, I was hoping that The Climax Locomotive would be of the same high standard.
Perhaps the first printing of the first edition may be a collector's delight someday. Meanwhile, I CAN recommend this book, however, do avoid the first print.
