Description

This series of books, through the use of exquisitely detailed photographs, highlights many freight cars photographed in the mid-to-late 1930s in southern California. They are particularly useful to modelers as they contain many close-up views that were photographed for the purpose of making models, and thus are a fantastic aid in detailing models. In addition to the quality of the coverage, the photos are complemented by captions written by Ted Culotta that provide a wealth of information about the prototypes covered in the book. Volume Seven covers cars rebuilt from wood or composite cars into all-steel cars. Roads with cars profiled include ACL, ATSF, B&O, CN, CNW, GTW, NYC, RI, SL-SF, UP, WAB. 84 pages. $45.00
