Anyone know if a streamlined version of a CPR 4-6-2 was ever produced in 3RS or 2RS?
Thanks.

No, the heavier CPR Pacifics have not been done in O Scale. Closest would be the impending CPR P2 2-8-2's coming from Sunset 3rd Rail. Weaver did the light 1200 series Pacifics a while back.
BTW, #2459 was one of the last CPR 4-6-2's in service. She was still on house steam at St Luc roundhouse, Montreal, in July 1960, in stand-by service.
Thanks Mark, Probably going to revert to HO scale for an example of this locomotive.
The above Division Point model is darn close to perfect! Wish the same quality was available in O Scale, since Precision Scale has gone dark.
A fellow in western Canada produced a kit for CPR pacific. It was etched brass and lost wax castings. I believe he used All Nation drivers and possibly the rest of the mechanism.
I know the owner of Des Plaines Hobbies owns one. There was a completed model at an RPM in Vancouver a few years ago. I will see if I can find the photos of it.

Yes, the fellow in Western Canada produced a few kits, one being for the CPR 2700 series, an older locomotive (1920's era) then the 1940's era 2400's. He also advertised a kit for a D4g 4-6-0, one of my all-time favorites. Alas, his kit prices were the same as a fully built Precision Scale locomotive. The combination of price and work effort/time investment scared me off. Ron Sebastion of DesPlaines Hobbies proposed obtaining a number of kits and sending them to China to be built. Perhaps that is where Ron's came from.
Here is the website of the chap who did the CPR Pacific kits: http://www.miniaturesbyeric.com/index.htm
He concentrates on parts these days. Perhaps he could be coaxed into producing a new kit, if beseeched !! ??
