I traded for the Trumpeter BR 52 loco (the same loco that my father brought back from a trip to Europe in HO scale in 1960, though it needed a three-rail track and I couldn't use it). I have the massive Voyager PE & resin set on order, as well as looking at the LZ Models resin additions.

But I would like to get a photo book showing the details as opposed to printing up a lot of photos off the Internet. Any suggestions?

Maybe this one ?

ISBN 3-9805967-6-1
Not sure about its availability though

That one should be easier to find :

Wings & Wheels, of course! Thanks, Frenchy. Anyone know who stocks this in the States? It's $50 from WWP in the Czech Republic plus shipping.

UPDATE: Sprue Bros. have it for $60 plus shipping. Anyone else know of a dealer?

Hi Bill,

If it goes for modelling, the WWP is the better choise. The other book is more intented for the railway modeller, since it cover the development and the operational use of the Baureihe 52 in and after the war.
BTW the Baureihe 52 book was published by a company near my hometown

Hans-Hermann

Thanks, Hans Hermann, I will purchase the WWP book, I just want to see if I can get it cheaper than $72 with shipping. I already have $250 invested in the kit & PE, so I might as well build this model its own bedroom in my house, LOL.

On a related note, it looks as though the Trumpeter kit's Nazi eagles have no swastikas in them. Does anyone make Deutsche Reichsbahn eagles in this size & scale?

Archer does !

Thanks, Frenchy, as always. I actually checked Archer's site, but couldn't find them before. Their site is down now, so I'll try again tomorrow.

Archer has what you want, if they dont pm me I have a couple extra.

Not much cheaper with shipping, but you'll have it quicker:

at Sprue Bros

Yeah, I may have to bite the bullet and order the Sprue Bros. copy.
