Passenger trains are staging a comeback...at least on model railroads, thanks to highly
detailed cars and trains from firms like Walthers, BLI, Branchline, Con-Cor, Kato and Rapido. To
make passenger modeling even better, Walthers also offers a line of passenger-related
facilities. But how do you put it all together to model passenger operations prototypically
on your layout? This 38-page CD book, with prototype photos, track schematics
and diagrams, shows you how to do it. Presented in PDF format (Adobe® Reader® 5.0
or later required), all text is fully searchable, and all the high-resolution prototype and
model photos can be zoomed in on for close examination of every detail...something not
possible with printed versions. CD contains both series.
PLEASE NOTE: Because the images on this CD are 300 dpi instead of the usual 96 dpi
commonly used, Adobe® Reader® may respond slower than usual.
