Printed on 80# paper and 100# cover stock, this 96-page,
horizontal-format (10.875"W x 8.375" H) saddlestitched softcover book by
Jeff Scherb features newly redrawn PRR plans of trackside structures such as
signal & switch buildings, passenger stations, combination stations, yard &
shop buildings and freight houses. A "must own" for PRR enthusiasts and
modelers, this book is also a great resource for any modeler interested in
scratchbuilding or detailing structures.
Working from original drawings and photos, Jeff recreated these historical
drawings using CAD software so they could be compiled into a practical and
comprehensive format useful to both the PRR historian and modeler. While
many books have extensively examined the motive power and rolling stock of
the Pennsylvania, little attention has been paid to the plethora of standard
equipment found along the side of the track. With this book, historians and
modelers interested in prototypically recreating these features, now have a
practical reference guide.
This volume is the companion to Trackside on the Pennsylvania - Standard
Plans of the Standard Railroad of the World: Structures, Bridges, Signals
and Signs, which was published in 2002. That volume features redrawn PRR standard
plans of trackside structures, bridges & culverts, signals, and signs."
