From Amazon.com:

Invaluable handbook on how to get your live steam engine to burn its coal more efficiently and thus run longer and more smoothly between stops. About half the book is a very helpful essay, "Redesigning the Model Steam Locomotive for More Steam Output," detailing the author's experiments with firebox size and coal type as well as his reading of old Pennsylvania Railroad reports which opened his eyes to how to properly run a steam locomotive. The second half of the pamphlet is a reprint of a 1936 article from the Association of American Railroads, "Master Mechanics Locomotive Front End Arrangement," which addresses the same issues. Both articles are illustrated throughout with clear diagrams and charts. 36 pages.
