Yes, Danville is an interpretation of Mojave, California. The day that Pelle photographed the ARCO station the price of gasoine was $2.09 and luckily that price has stayed rather close to reality. Pelle has never owned a Southern Pacific tunnel motor. His only SP engine is a SD45R. Pelle has worked with the Union Pacific for many years and models only current locomotives from the UP and SF. Pelle has explained to me that the lines on his layouts are tight due to a modeling difficulty in keeping the lines even and balanced and the number of lines are dictated from actual photographs taken. Remember it's the simplicity of his designs and the creativity of his layout that makes Pelle the outstanding modeler he is and we're lucky Model Railroader acknowledges his talents for us in their magazine.
