Modeling Cajon

Plot

Excellent guide to modeling the Cajon Pass by an author who clearly loves his subject. After a brief history of the Pass and the railroads that conquered it, the book discusses modeling concepts, scales, layout design, selective compression, prominent structures along the route, motive power of the 1940s and 1950s, markers and signals, topography, scenery, coloring, rock formations, foliage, and details along the right-of-way. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos (of the real Pass and of models), schematic drawings of buildings and trackside structures, maps, and layout designs. With bibliography. 72 pages.
