This book is a catalogue of the complete West Collection of Pacific Electric and Los Angeles Railway HO scale model trolleys as of 2014 that have been assembled over the years by Ira West. It documents each and every car with its specification, such as importer, manufacturer, date, and how many were produced. This book includes how Ira developed his passion for this hobby, shows how he displays his collection, along with dioramas or layouts, as they are referred to by train modelers, and how the cars were painted and finished. Also, there is a bit of historical information accompanying early route maps. A total of 119 model trolleys comprise this handsome collection. Touches of memorabilia add human interest to the displays, such as a conductors hat, lanterns, station signs, whistles, tokens and boarding passes.
