<DIV>Brian,</DIV>
<DIV> The new book is completely different in that it has much
more text and twice the pages. </DIV>
<DIV> That said and depending on what books you already have
in your library, text wise, there is nothing ground shaking in the new book. At
times I found the explanations confusing or at least not very clear. </DIV>
<DIV> There are a number of different photos added and some
left out <EM>( and at least one mislabeled )</EM>. A couple of nice HO scale
drawings by Bob Hundman grace the inside covers.</DIV>
<DIV> I would suggest that you look the book over
for yourself, then decide. </DIV>
<DIV> As long as I'm handing out my two cents, the definative
Y Class book is yet to be written. Something along the lines of Ed King's "A" or
Huddleston's "Allegheny" is in order. </DIV>
