My point exactly. My first book was Trains in Transition which I probably got in 1960. That has some good photos of the narrow gauge, and when it was published, they were current! That book certainly has a different perspective and it is a good contrast to material written now. Same with Trains Magazines from the 50's....

So 50 years from now, somebody is going to have to spend a fair amount of time keeping soft copies of archival information on current technology. Not so with a book! Hopefully in 50 years people still know how to read one.
