Lets recommend each other literature specifically about the design and engineering behind your favorite locomotive or piece of rollingstock.

I've always been a big fan of the Canadian Pacific C-Liners and their 38D 8-1/8 opposed piston engine. I haven't found a book that goes into their design and construction and inspiration, and trials and tribulations. I do have "Constructed in Kingston" but while detailed about construction it doesn't really go into it's design. The best I've found is the 2-part series in Trains magazine (March-April 1987) which I bought when it came out. I bought a couple actually. The author worked at F-M and he goes into decent detail on the design and concept.

If anyone knows of any other book, let me know because as far as I know I have every book there is on them.
