INFO AND LINKS

Purpose of this internet site

Engine Shop is a collection with now over 5,000 diesel engine drawings and over 100 different models built by EMD, GE, ALCO, BLW, Budd, FM, KM (Krauss-Maffei), LH, MKO/MP (Morrison-Knudsen, Motive Power), MLW, Ingalls, Railpower, UA (United Aircraft, Sikorsky) and a European joint venture  (SIG/WS/BBC) in different colors of fallen flag and contemporary railroad companies. The drawings are neither to scale nor 100% accurate as far as coloring is concerned. Owner specific differences in a model are not always reflected since I don't have the time and energy to do it. I started this collection, when I created an inventory database with Access 2000 for my N-scale locomotives. After drawing and coloring a GP 20 in SP colors, I found a new and inexpensive hobby.

If you know of a paint scheme you couldn't find in my collection, send me an e-mail with the website URL so I can check it out. Please, don't send me attached files. I caught twice a virus and I won't download any files anymore. Corrections are always welcome, since I sometimes use black and white or older, faded photos. 

I used different books, magazines and websites to find the different paint schemes for this collection and so my thanks goes to all those unknown photographers for their effort over so many years.

The drawings are copyrighted by EngineShop.org.

I want to mention the following people who helped me over the years that my collection grew and became more accurate. It also gives a link to their web sites if they provided me with that information. There is no guarantee that the links still work.

If I forgot you, I am sorry. Just send my an e-mail.
