Jim Harper - page 2 of 3 |
 |
| Jim built this neat little freight house and painted it in SP colors. The layout is located in his three-car garage in the Reno area. |
 |
| An Oriental Limited SP GP-9 leads a short freight past one of the layout's many detailed scenes. This locomotive was also converted by Jim with commercial wheels. |
 |
| Jim Harper's Proto48 Southern Pacific F-7 units started out as Key Models O gauge units. He converted them using wheels made by Protocraft. Jim photographed them on his large layout. The layout is loosely based upon SP operations in California. Jim's track is all hand-spiked with individual tie plates and four spikes per tie. He used cast frogs and points so his track is as well detailed as his models. Jim has converted to DCC operation with sound. |
