Some of the doorstop collectors should love these. No idea how rare they are, but came across them and thought it was okay to share. Someone tell me if I should take it down, but the whistle stop magazine is a really neat glimpse into the hobby nearly 75 years ago.
If anything, the list of manufacturers starting on page 45 is very interesting.

Also in the stack was an All-Nation catalog. No idea how old it is or if this is a common catalog, but hopefully its useful to those who dabble in vintage O Scale. It has quite a few models listed, so I imagine its towards the tale end of their original existence.

Note - these are .HEIC files, so you'll probably need a newer computer or browser in order to view these files locally, unless you find a way to convert them to a more traditional file type or take screenshots. I will eventually take them down when I need more space on my Google Drive.

Fascinating material David, thanks for posting!
I noted the AN catalog lists and illustrates an "EMD 660hp switcher" (aka SW-1)

The model was inaccurate, but ok for its era. I have one.
