MODELS

There are two pictures showing 3 Engines. Those Engines are from Rodney Walker. There are two pictures showing two snow covered CP Engines, those are build by David Terdich. The SOO Engines are build from Javier and the Boxcar and Caboose are weathered by Gary Christensen.  The Snow Diorama was build from my Friend Stefan Foerg in Germany.



GMDD-built G12 was an export model that returned to Canada. Here is a KITBASH G-12 model by Flavio Lage from Brazil. L&PS L4 and L5 became CN 991 and 992 respectively.


 


 

 

A CP SD60 in HO Scale

(By Dan Dell’Unto)
 


The ironic part was I started with a Proto 2000 SD60 painted in SOO colours. I took all the details off it, disassembled, stripped the paint, made any necessary modifications, and repainted/decaled it as a CP 6200 series SD60 rebuilt by CAD Rail. There's a few minor things I left off and didn't change to keep it easy (like those white PTC antennas on the cabs that CP installed later on, and I couldn't find the exact numberboard font) and a few yet to install (rear ditch lights, all weather window) but overall it was a fun project.
