Description

This series of books, through the use of exquisitely detailed photographs, highlights many freight cars photographed in the late 1930s into 1940 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 noted freight car researcher Richard Hendrickson that provide a wealth of information about the prototypes covered in the book. 84 pages, over 150 photos.
