Bachmann should have more Canadian stuff

The problem there is not that it's Canadian, but that it's unique.

Agreed Gene.

Personally, I'd never purchase an easily identifiable or unique to one road locomotive, unless I modelled that road for example.

[SteamGene]

OTOH, if one has a private road,  the unique loco could be sold to it.  In real life the C&O sold its unique H-7s (simple 2-8-8-2) to the UP and the RF&P as the H-8s came on property.  My VT&P buys C&O locos as they come available.

I have 3 Hudsons. One is an IHC with CN markings , one comes from SuperStore with CN markings and one is Rivarossi streamlined with NYC maekings. I would sure love to have a Royal Hudson with DCC and sound.

Judging from the number of views, this appears to be a hot topic. Up to now, I've only been concerned with finishing my Colorado roster. I just received the 2009 catalog, I didn't see much for CP or CN.

Now here is a locomotive that nobady makes.  A 4-4-4.  I think it was the CP that had some.  I think the B & O also had one.

The CPR Jubilee was the 4-4-4, a semistreamlined greyhound of a locomotive.

I would give anything (almost ) for an affordable, accurate CPR Royal Hudson in HO. I wouldnt even care if it had DCC or sound, I could install that myself. Bach Man you have the power to make a lot of us Canadians very happy. We would all put you on our Christmas card list!

In HO, SD40-2  CPRail and Canadian national
           GP35 Canadian Pacific (2); CPRail (2)
          GP38-2  CP Rail
          C P Stock Car ,several Canadian grain cars, CN gondola

         Canadian National 2-10-2
These seem to be all and you had to have too much time on your hands  ;To find them

I wouldn't mind a set of those grain hoppers except they are about 30 years in the future on my layout.

None of these is accurate for either CN or CP, not even the 2-10-2 as they had Baker gear, different cabs and other detail differences in CN service.

Like I said before, painting a piece of equipment for CN or CP doesn't make it CN nor CP.  CN and CP diesels and freight cars differ from their American counterparts in many details.
