Album Info:Here are the front cover and a 16-page cover article by Mr. J. David Ingles entitled "Train Master Tribute: A 20-Year-Old In Twilight." They were published originally in the August 1973 issue of "Trains" magazine, pages 28-43. "As the Train Master evolved from components of previous Fairbanks-Morse units, so too was TM born of a lag in FM sales progress. The C-Liners were not selling up to expectations, and FM began to realize that the road-switcher design had come of age. Design progressed on an evolutionary big road-switcher." (Pages 28-29)
