Replicating the Golden Age of Railroading

Dave McCanne's module

Dave's module depicts a ficticious 1920s suburb of Los Angeles. Standard gauge and dual-gauge 3'6" trolley trackage wind through city blocks and up an incline to Buena Vista station.

All the track is handlaid, most of which is girder rail for street trackage and includes many dual-gauge switches. Dave drew up scale size trolley hangers and other hardware then had them made in photo-etched brass for extremely realistic overhead wiring. Traction companies represented include Pacific Electric, Los Angeles Railway, Los Angeles Pacific, and Los Angeles and Redondo lines. Detailed scratchbuilt buildings include the Gristle Stop cafe and a Red Crown gas station.
