That's been proposed, it goes for a little bit, and then craps out. The CSX owner's club should just get together and solicit "pledges" and then someone spearhead the operation to hire somebody to write it. Otherwise at the most you'll end up with a series of essays on a few different topics and not a clear, concise, organized manual. But the spearheading job is a big one as well. Photos really help. Any good manual should have tons of them, IMO. But that's not easy to do. The three volume service manuals (thicker than the Manhattan phone book) for my other cars don't contain a single photo. The ERA manual has some photos, but I'd like to see more.
