Contributing Editor John Caples has been a long-time Reading Modeler. Growing up in the Birdsboro/Pottstown area, he had significant exposure to action along the Main Line in the Reading's final years. An avid kitbasher, he's created unique models of several Reading prototypes, including the Continuous Welded Rail train featured elsewhere on the site. Several examples of his work are showcased in this gallery for your inspiration and enjoyment!
