Volume I, containing about 240 pages, will be an updated and expanded text based on Clegg and Corley's Canadian National Steam Power, outlining the development of steam power as influenced by the different Motive Power Chiefs. It will include a summary of all classes with wheel types, road numbers and builder, and a list of all owners of CNR power (predecessors and subsequent entities), a builder's list of CNR steam power, a bibliography, plus hundreds of photos, many in colour. You'll get a guide to the individual roster volumes, plus extended appendices covering across-the-classes items such as livery, sales and leases, appliance application, (including compounding, gearing, superheating, feedware heating, smoke deflectors, stokers, oil burners, cab and tender designs.)

Volumes II onward will contain the individual locomotive rosters by CNR classes according to similar or related wheel arrangements (including Newfoundland and the Central Vermont.) Every steam locomotive will be listed, and the roster will provide build data, ownership history, appliance history, as well as class notes. About 800 or more photographs, with full captions, will appear in the series of roster booklets, which will feature sturdy wire binding, permitting your book pages to open completely flat.

Don't miss your oppportunity to learn more about this historic series. The original Canadian National Steam Power, published in 1972 has been out of print for over 30 years. This new series will be a valuable entry in every CNR enthusiast's library, and is sure to become a rare collector's item.
