Ken,
I only wish! I think I have gone as far with that as I can.
Of course, I am always on the lookout for new additions, but for now, I 
am afraid: this is it, in this section!
If I find any more, I have your email address logged, and I will contact 
you "off-list" to notify you of any additions in
this section.
They are a favorite, to many people, including myself, and I even have 
printed out several of them.
These booklets give a true indication, of how things were back in the 
steam days!

If you are  partial to these little gems, then do not forget to download 
"Locomotive Building MRS 1911 N° 79-84"
This is a "binding" of several of these booklets on locomotive construction.
I have not put it on the same page as all the others, because they are 
not filed as individual booklets, maybe I should have....
You can find this on the first page 'Files&Books' under the heading "on 
steam" the 5th file from the top.

Cheers

Patrick
