Folks, We have been long delayed in our production of the Canadian Train. But it is being finished and should be delivered by November or December this year. We should have a finished sample with pictures by September 30th. The problem was with some of the observation car tooling. The quality was first rejected, then we had a tooling failure. We are 4 weeks away from the corrected tool to be finished. All cars are waiting to be assembled.
To pull "The Canadian" Train is the CP 1950s style FP7A and F7B. Below is a pre-production sample of the CP FP7s. We are looking at the lettering as being a little too thick and the color of the lettering and stripes a little too dark. The ladder on the front truck will be moved to line up with the stairs to the cab and the pilot will be corrected as it's shape is off. But as you can see, it has all the ice breakers and hatch detail, correct for the CP FP7s. In fact each road in the FP7 run has a completely unique set of detail differences.
The FP7s are in production and will be finished in late September for a late October Arrival. All units are reserved and we are building to the reservations. A second run is unlikely at this time.
I want to thank all of you that helped up with data, information and expertise to make this a very accurate model.
