CPR Lightweight Streamlined Passenger cars

   Nice cars, but certainly not CP ones. Anyone have info on the trucks? I know their Commonwealth but no real designation as to type other than 4 wheel passenger truck

  I do like the new Golden Gate Round roof Harriman cars with 6 wheel trucks they look convincing for CP

These cars were produced as resin castings by Transit Classics in Australia. You can contact Greg King at Transitclassics.net.au you might be able to get him to run some extras for you. So far he has produced the postal express, baggage and coach and will make the sleeper early next year along with the 2100 series cars. I'm not sure if you are aware that David Nadeau is producing the 8 hatch reefers and the CPR war emergency box car.

Hope this is helpful.

 Thank you Mr CN

 I was not aware of any of that. How much were the kits?

Al:

Sorry it has taken a while for me to respond. The cars cost about 250.00 if my memory serves me well. As well as the streamline cars there has been other cars produced by other builders here in Calgary. The kettle Valley cars of Gib Kennedy fame were produced by Al H... J Scott has two sets for sale at this time. Heavy weight sleepers by Herb S were also produced and Al H is going to offer the CPR combine later this year. That's all for now. Have fun with your trains.

I have received a email from Greg King that he is taking reservations for the Grove sleeping car. If any of you are interested you should contact him. Brass castings for the trucks are also available from him. That all for now.

Kind of interested in these cars too. Can't find Greg King in Oz though?

They look like the cars I rode in the 60's commuting on Montreal's West Island route?

Cedar Park or Valois were my stop, depending on the train.

Greg King:

email.transitclassics@iinet.net.au or try transitclassics@netspace.net.au these are the two email addresses I have for him.
