I am interested in putting together a timeline of B&M diesel locomotives. In addition to some internet searches, I have several books including the three-part series by Liljestrand & Sweetland; the "Color" book (which I think is Part I) by Plant & Plant, the "Three Colorful Decades" by Robert Jones, and the "Bluebirds" book by Tom Nelligan.
Some of these sources have rosters showing when the engines were ordered/built/delivered, but very few show when the engines were off of the roster. I don't need something so specific as a breakdown for every engine (nor do I think such a document exists), but it would be nice to know when the last engine of the class was sold/scrapped.
Is there a book or other online resource that has this information?
Thanks.
