Engine Operating & Maintenance Manuals

Operating and maintenance manuals are issued by the locomotive builder and provide a general description of principal equipment components, explanation of the cab controls, outline of procedures for operation of the locomotive, description of the engine and the main operating systems, explanation of the principal electrical components and systems and trouble shooting strategy.  Fold-out diagrams of major systems are usually included.  Coverage detail varies between the different manuals and some manuals cover things in more detail than others.    Manuals are in excellent condition unless noted and some have the prior owner’s name written on them.  vg = very good.  Click on the link in the Builder column for photos.  Please ignore the bracketed [  ] notations.   [sb2]
