NIRCLASS80 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just a couple of photos from my new CP Rail layout. Completely fictional location 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayner Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Interesting to see models of SOO ex-Milwaukee Road Bandits I came across an ex Milwaukee "Bandit" GP38-2 but did not realise what it was while visiting relative in North Dakota in 2004. While most of the through trains were hauled by relatively new GE power in the CP Beaver scheme, way freights were worked by locos in CP Pacman & SOO line branding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic photos especially the GP and SD40-2 one. Just wondering would you mind if I printed it off for my layout room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looks very impressive! I know nothing about US stock but it looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no Canadian railroad expert but got hooked on the models after a visit to Canada in 1996. The railroads were impressive and the models light years ahead of anything available for the British market at the time. Now of course we are spoiled with all the great Irish stuff available but the CP Rail bug is still alive so I have a little 8 foot by 18 inch shelf layout to show off the motive power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I find I'm watching more and more US stuff of late on YouTube. My current fetish is the SD40-2, can't get enough of them. I fear, at some stage I might cross over to the dark side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Very nice indeed, I have only the one Candian loco. For added realism, however, you might need a goose ..... https://pixels.com/featured/train-chasing-canada-goose-steve-boyko.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayner Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The 'big sky" backdrop, neat ballasting and and switch stand really sets the scene as a Class 1 Railroad in the grain belt. Is the layout set North or South or the 49th Parallel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
