- You want to look at the industry magazines of that era. There are
- probably German magazines (if you can read German), but the British
- magazine 'Railway Gazette' is quite good on general European
- developments. It is very good on the development of electric and
- diesel locomotives as during this period the Gazette published
- (monthly?) supplements on Electric Railways and Diesel Traction.
-
- Copies of the 'Railway Gazette' should be obtainable in large
- public or university libraries.
