["William E. Botkin" <webotkin_@_ecentral.com>]

Dear EL List,

The new edition of Railway Prototype Cyclopedia #6 is out and has some areas
of interest for DL&W and Erie modelers:

The contents include Updates; BX Express Box Cars; EMD F3 Phase II; and
Lightweight Passenger Car Trucks.  In the BX Express Box Car section, they
list the DL&W series 1633-1692, 10000-10039 an 10040-10089 cars plus there
is a builder's photo of DL&W car no.10039 from Magor.

The F3 section lists both DL&W series 621A/B/C, 657A-662A, 803A-805A,
803B-805B and 803C-805C and Erie 706A-708A, 706B-708B, 706C-708C, 706D-708D,
714A/B/C/D, 800A-806A 800B-806B and 800D-806D.  Builder's photos show DL&W
803A/B/C, in service shots of DL&W 657A, Erie 706A/B/C/D and 800A/B/C plus
builder's photos of the front of DL&W 803 and Erie (can't tell due to the
placement of the number boards).

Finally the Passenger Truck section lists indicates in description and
photos the correct trucks for DL&W 10-6 sleepers and Erie 10-5, 10-6 and
6-6-4 sleepers along with text and and close-up detail photos.

All in all quite a good booklet!
