Canadian Train Set

Locomotives

The locomotives planned for the Canadian set are below. The liveries planned for each are also listed. This site is extremely in-progress. Please excuse the mess.

Steam Locomotives

4-6-4T X10a Class

These ten tank engines (Class X10a) were built in 1914 for the Grand Trunk Railway. They were used around Ontario and Quebec on suburban passenger runs. Not ver high in HP, they can only haul a few coaches but they can do so very well. Available - 1921Dan MacKellar

2-8-0 "Consolidation"

The Consolidation was the most popular wheel arrangement in North America. Both CN and CP had large numbers of these locos for both branch and mainline duties. It offers a small loco for your short runs at the beginning. Available - 1921Dan MacKellar

2-8-2 "Mikado"

The Mikado is a good engine for those long-distance fast freight hauls. Overall a good general purpose loco. Again, both CN and CPR had versions of this wheel arrangement. Available - 1921Dan MacKellar

4-6-2 "Pacific"

Pacifics also saw double duty in Canada both as freight and passenger haulers. Canadian Pacific owned many, as did CNR. Both will be represented. Available - 1921Dan MacKellar

2-10-2 "Santa Fe"

The Santa Fe type was for many years the most powerful locomotive in Canada. CPR used theirs mainly in the mountains, CNR used theirs all over. This loco will also be available in both CN and CPR liveries. Available - 1921Dan MacKellar

4-6-4 "Hudson"

The Hudson type was Canadian Pacific's mainstay for passenger power in later years. CN preferred the Northern type, only having 5 Hudsons. Liveries for this loco will be available in both streamlined (Shown) and non-streamlined versions. A CNR version may also be included. Available - 1930Dan MacKellar

4-8-4 "Northern"

What Hudsons were for CP, Northerns (Called "Condeferations") were for CN. The Northern type could be found all over the system hauling both freight and passenger. CPR only had 2, CN had hundreds. The streamlined version shown is part of a class of 10 that were built in 1939 to haul the Royal Train. Available - 1938Dan MacKellar

Electric Locomotives

Diesel Locomotives

GMD FP7

Similar to the F7, the FP7 was widely used by both CN and CP and later VIA Rail. The main difference to an FP7 was the addition of a steam generator for passenger service. Normal F7B's are used. Available - 1950Dan MacKellar, mnorman

GMD F40PH-2

Amtrak originally received the F40 in the 1970's. They didn't arrive on VIA Rail until 1987. Paint schemes available will be VIA Rail and GO Transit. Available - 1987Dan MacKellar

Completed Sprites

CNR U-4-a "Confederation" 4-8-4
