EMD Switching (SW8 SW9 ) & Transfer (TR5 TR6) Locomotive Operating Manual, 1951

Description

Still thinning out my collection since moving to Colorado.  Brought the last of stuff that I had in storage in Texas, but still needing to get rid of it.  I'm not interested in making a huge profit, but need to make it worth my while in time and packaging as I piecemeal this stuff out to others to hold and cherish for the next 40 to 50 years. I have sold off much of my collection over the last twenty years or so and now it's getting down to items that meant the most to me as I whittle the collection down to a further, smaller core of items. Here are two related items offered as a set"
